Package: traceroute
Version: 2.0.7-2
Severity: normal

Now that tcptraceroute is obsoleted, I tried the new version and got:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tcptraceroute google.com
The specified type of tracerouting is allowed for superuser only

Then I tried it as root and got this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# tcptraceroute google.com
traceroute to google.com (64.233.167.99), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  192.168.4.1 (192.168.4.1)  0.606 ms  0.576 ms *

 5  * * *
 6  * py-in-f99.google.com (64.233.167.99)  57.581 ms  58.833 ms

In comparison, the tcptraceroute from the tcptraceroute package gives:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tcptraceroute google.com
Selected device eth0, address 192.168.4.174, port 48799 for outgoing packets

 4  eh-in-f99.google.com (72.14.207.99) [open]  30.803 ms  31.981 ms  32.642 ms

Clearly, the tcptraceroute in traceroute is less useful, please remove
it and remove the conflicts/replaces.
