On Yakkety 16.10, fanatic fails trying to run docker tests and then hangs:

$sudo fanatic
Welcome to the fanatic fan networking wizard. This will help you set
up an example fan network and optionally configure docker and/or LXD to
use this network. See fanatic(1) for more details.

===
[Impact]

Unable to test docker configuration due to the removal of ping from the default images.

[Test Case]

Request docker configuration and testing.

[Regression Potential]

Low, only used during initial configuration.

The container images now no longer contains ping, I hit this problem writing some tests for these a few weeks when exercising the test on docker images. I had to hack around it by running "docker run ubuntu sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get install iputils-ping -y" before running the ping test.
