Hi, iproute2 just got updated to 3.5.0-1 (previously was 3.4.0-2), because I use [testing].
ip addr show seems to work differently now, showing me my ipv6 assigned address by default rather than my ipv4 address (which was what I previously got when running ip addr show.
The man page for ip-address says the command 'displays addresses and their properties', which means it should at least show the ipv4 address as well?
I'm wondering whether this is simply an upstream change/bug, since the man page is a bit unclear and a change in behaviour is normally mentioned in man pages (isn't it?).
Of course, easy to workaround using ip -4 addr show....
I have the same problem, but it doesn't even show the IPv6 address. Only the link address is shown, which is of no use. iproute2 3.4.0-2: --------------------- 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 20:cf:30:55:81:2d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.77.116.13/24 brd 10.77.116.255 scope global eth0 inet6 2a01:490:11:7488:22cf:30ff:fe55:812d/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 2591780sec preferred_lft 604580sec inet6 fe80::22cf:30ff:fe55:812d/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever iproute2 3.5.0-1 --------------------- 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 20:cf:30:55:81:2d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
