Hello Andreas, or anyone else affected,

Accepted traceroute into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/traceroute/1:2.0.20-0ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

The package doesn't seem to be in trusty-proposed yet. I then downloaded it manually from the build page and verified that --mtu works now.

[Graham Inggs (ginggs)]

Thanks Andreas. Would you also confirm in LP: #1354704 that you are seeing the expected results with the --mtu option, please?

[Chris J Arges (arges)]

The verification of the Stable Release Update for traceroute has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.
