Bug Description
Smokeping 2.6.11-4 probe FPing is not compatible with fping 4.0 when setting sourceaddress option.
It happens because the '-S' option is expecting the 3.13 help output but it has changed in 4.0.
In smokeping version 2.7.1 the '-S' option checking has changed to be compatible with 3.13 and 4.0.
Version 2.6.11 (FPing.pm line 70)
Version 2.7.1 (FPing.pm line 70)
It also affects to other options like '-O'.
Reported in 2017-June in Smokeping github (https:/
I propose to update Smokeping to version 2.7.1.

Hi there!
I've recently started co-maintaining the smokeping package in debian with Antoine Beaupré and I've worked on updating the package to 2.7.3.
it was recently brought to my attention (on the smokeping users mailing list) that this bug existed in the ubuntu version of smokeping. This bug is specific to bionic (at least in terms of ubuntu LTS releases) because the version of smokeping shipped in bionic is not compatible with the version of fping.
I've written a fix for upstream that was merged before 2.7.3 was released, and so I believe that by cherry-picking this patch we'd be fixing the issue for ubuntu.
The patch in question is here:
https:/ /github. com/oetiker/ SmokePing/ commit/ 681457d0872057f 79e2b2f97fa6ff8 b6b415b48c
I'm currently trying to figure out how to produce a debdiff for easier consumption by someone that can push a change to ubuntu. If I don't send a debdiff this week-end though and someone is able to easily integrate the above patch in the package, then please do go ahead and don't wait for my input! I'll try and do my best to format this during the week-end though.
