smokeping 2.7.3 implemented changes which are incompatible with gentoo's stable fping 3.13 https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/commit/681457d0872057f79e2b2f97fa6ff8b6b415b48c Upstream has since committed a workaround after smokeping-2.7.3 release to accommodate distributions still shipping older fping packages https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/commit/56a054874d7974b49c7ba43e4c7510086453bce4 So we have a few options. If we want to wait until the next smokeping release number, this issue should be mitigated. Otherwise. Please consider depending on a newer version of fping. I've tested with both 4.1 and latest 4.2 without issues. - >=net-analyzer/fping-4.1[suid] + >=net-analyzer/fping-2.4_beta2-r2[suid] Thank you

Doesn't look like it's absolutely necessary.
> Doesn't look like it's absolutely necessary. Unless I'm miss understanding the timeline, our 2.7.3 package is broken for that commit occurred after that point release. Yes, I agree this will eventually be fixed in the next smokeping version release.
