[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#793735: tries to launch arping from /usr/bin/ (which is installed in /usr/sbin)

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-7
Severity: normal

Today I saw this in my syslog on a Debian jessie machine:

"""
Jul 26 22:20:23 my-machine NetworkManager[1665]: <warn> Could not
send ARP for local address 10.236.214.162: Kindprozess »/usr/bin/arping«
konnte nicht ausgeführt werden (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)
"""

The German part in the above error message means: Child process
/usr/bin/arping could not be executed (No such file or directory).

Reason: arping is installed in /usr/sbin/ (!!!).
