[Test Case] * Having an Ubuntu Cosmic, Disco or Eoan, try to execute the following command: $ ss -tn state established "( src [172.16.17.2] || src [172.16.17.3] )" "( sport == :2049 )" Independent of the IPs or ports being used. Copying and pasting the command should be enough for you to know if you are affected. Bad Result: ss: bison bellows (while parsing filter): "syntax error!" Sorry. Usage: ss [ OPTIONS ] ss [ OPTIONS ] [ FILTER ] -h, --help this message ... Expected Result: Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port ... * test case was discovered during CTDB scripts execution [Regression Potential] * biggest risk would be to affect ss interpreter (worst case scenario). * the proposed patch is based in upstream fix and was tested against the same issue reported as the reproducer (above) and some other generic ss commands. * any problem here is unlikely to change iproute2 most important command interpreter, "ip", since the patch is applied against ss code. [Other Info] ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Investigating an issue for CTDB (LP: #722201), after suggesting a fix on ss syntax to CTDB upstream project, we discovered that "ss" seems to be broken in Ubuntu since Ubuntu Cosmic: ---- # Debian Sid inaddy@workstation:~$ ss -tn state established "( src [172.16.17.2] || src [172.16.17.3] )" "( sport == :2049 )" Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port # Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) (c)inaddy@xenial:~$ ss -tn state established "( src [172.16.17.2] || src [172.16.17.3] )" "( sport == :2049 )" Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port # Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) (c)inaddy@bionic:~$ ss -tn state established "( src [172.16.17.2] || src [172.16.17.3] )" "( sport == :2049 )" Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port # Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) (c)inaddy@cosmic:~$ ss -tn state established "( src [172.16.17.2] || src [172.16.17.3] )" "( sport == :2049 )" ss: bison bellows (while parsing filter): "syntax error!"

Sorry. Usage: ss [ OPTIONS ] ss [ OPTIONS ] [ FILTER ] ---- I have generated a pkg using upstream iproute2 source code and it does not suffer the issue. I have generated a package using Ubuntu cosmic source package, without debian/patches/*, and verified the issue still persists (not being introduced by any of our packages, and being present if vanilla upstream version used in Cosmic).
