[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#662638: nagios-plugins-basic: check_ping can not parse output of ping6 when unreachable

[Matthias Cramer]

Package: nagios-plugins-basic
Version: 1.4.15-3squeeze1.1-ip6fix
Severity: important


check_ping gives back unknown instead of critical when host ist unreachable
via ipv6. This is because ping6 returns an other output then expected by
the check.

Patch is attached.
