Hi Wolfgang,

thanks for updating #755997, I'm now also sending this to the bug directly, so 
other see it more easily...

jessie currently has:

$ apt-file search bin/arping
arping: /usr/sbin/arping
iputils-arping: /usr/bin/arping

You said it "sometimes fails to be executed" - and I wonder which are the 
circumstances when it succeeds?

Also, what is the effect on Debian Edu? I wonder whether the severity of 
#755997 should be upgraded...


cheers,
	Holger
