So there's two issues here -- #1 , net-analyzer/arping 's binary 'arping2' was not satisfying the dependency for apipa (and i'm not sure if it can). This is a separate issue and a new bug should be filed if it indeed doesn't work. #2, more specific to the details of this bug as-filed, net-misc/iputils in ~arch changed paths of arping from /sbin to /bin. This is resolved as per bug 458090. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 458090 ***
