Public bug reported:
netaddr python package uses 2 files oui.txt and iab.txt to make mac
address look up and others.
However, the files
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/netaddr/eui/iab.txt
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/netaddr/eui/oui.txt
are symlinks to, respectively,
/usr/share/ieee-data/iab.txt
/usr/share/ieee-data/oui.txt
from the package ieee-data.
But if you update the files with update-ieee-data, the updated files
lies in /var/lib/ieee-data and not in /usr/share/ieee-data
So the python package will continue to use the old ones.
The fix is simple. Use symlink towards
/var/lib/ieee-data/iab.txt
/var/lib/ieee-data/oui.txt
respectively instead
