I have hit this issue too. via iputils-tracepath under ubuntu 18.04. There are actually 2 issues with this, one with ipv6 address and the other to an ipv6 hostname. https://github.com/iputils/iputils/issues/68 https://github.com/iputils/iputils/issues/81
I also do not see how this is fixed in the version when the issue wasn't fixed by the iputils maintainer until after 10 Nov 2016. This is a new issue that is not fixed in the released version of 18.04 iputils-tracepath or any iptuils utility based on the s20161105 build of iptuils. ** Bug watch added: github.com/iputils/iputils/issues #81 https://github.com/iputils/iputils/issues/81 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to iputils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1798313 Title: traceoute6 gives error sendto: Invalid argument Status in Iputils: Fix Released Status in iputils package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in iputils package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: When running the following command all get is an error.
