Today I saw this in my syslog on a Debian jessie machine:

"""
Jul 26 22:20:23 my-machine NetworkManager[1665]: <warn> Could not
send ARP for local address 10.236.214.162: Kindprozess »/usr/bin/arping«
konnte nicht ausgeführt werden (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)
"""

The German part in the above error message means: Child process
/usr/bin/arping could not be executed (No such file or directory).

Reason: arping is installed in /usr/sbin/ (!!!).

..

pn  iputils-arping  <none>

Right, that's why network-manager use iputils-arping, which is in /usr/bin

Shouldn't this be handled by the Depends: field then? My system never pulled in iputils-arping. Maybe because the system has been installed years ago and always dist-upgraded since then.

IMHO, network-manager should either not complain about missing arping executable or package-wise pull-in the correct package as a dependency (which ends up in the original arping package not being installable anymore on all systems using network-manager).
