Thank you for working on this! Is there at least a single user of this package on Bionic who would benefit from this to be fixed in Bionic, or likely to be such a user in the future? If so, then +1 to accept this SRU. If not, then I'm reluctant because the code touched is the main code path through the program, and so there is risk to existing users for what would be no benefit to anyone else.
I will consult with the wider SRU team on their opinion of this pattern of digging up old bugs in old LTSes and fixing them. If there is a user who would benefit from this being fixed in 18.04, then please let us know! ** Changed in: liboping (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: In Progress => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1780746 Title: oping (and noping) require root access to run To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/liboping/+bug/1780746/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
