Hi, I come by trying to clear out a few old bugs that might still need to be resolved (or can be closed by now).
Even though this one seems to be forgotten by everyone so far it has been fixed. Bionic (affected) root@b:~# ip addr add 1.1.1.1 label test1 dev eth0 "dev" (eth0) must match "label" (test1). root@b:~# ip addr add 1.1.1.1 label eth0-test dev eth0 root@b:~# ip addr show dev eth0 | grep test inet 1.1.1.1/32 scope global eth0-test Impish (fixed) root@i:~# ip addr add 1.1.1.1 label test1 dev eth0 "label" (test1) must match "dev" (eth0) or be prefixed by "dev" with a colon. root@i:~# ip addr add 1.1.1.1 label eth0-test dev eth0 "label" (eth0-test) must match "dev" (eth0) or be prefixed by "dev" with a colon. root@i:~# ip addr show dev eth0 | grep test This was effectively fixed by https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/iproute2/iproute2.git/commit/?id=cad73425d8813 Which is in since v4.18.0 That version is in >=20.04 as well as in 18.04-backports. iproute2 | 3.12.0-2 | trusty | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el iproute2 | 3.12.0-2ubuntu1.2 | trusty-updates | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el iproute2 | 4.3.0-1ubuntu3 | xenial | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x iproute2 | 4.3.0-1ubuntu3.16.04.5 | xenial-updates | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x iproute2 | 4.15.0-2ubuntu1 | bionic | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x iproute2 | 4.15.0-2ubuntu1.1 | bionic-security | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x iproute2 | 4.15.0-2ubuntu1.3 | bionic-updates | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x iproute2 | 4.18.0-1ubuntu2~ubuntu18.04.1 | bionic-backports | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x iproute2 | 5.5.0-1ubuntu1 | focal | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x iproute2 | 5.10.0-4ubuntu1 | hirsute | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x iproute2 | 5.10.0-4ubuntu1 | impish | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x Thereby the active release that still is affected is Bionic (unless you use bionic-backports which already have 4.18). I think to fix this in bionic is only prio-low since it is mostly a cosmetic. Since it is fixed in newer releases there isn't more work to be done to drive this to conclusion for future releases. @Nahuel - I can only beg your pardon that this was dormant for so long :-/ ** Also affects: iproute2 (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: iproute2 (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: iproute2 (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: iproute2 (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1662620 Title: "ip addr add" permits illegal labels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute2/+bug/1662620/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
