Hello,

We've found a inconsistency with the traceroute installation and it's manpage. The manpage says 'traceroute6 is an equivalent to traceroute -6', but in arch linux this does not work.

It this by design?

Thank you.

Upstream doesn't ship a symlink. The scripts used to set up packages are pretty ugly, so I guess it's by design. You might create your own symlink, if you think of removing it once it ships and the installation aborts with "traceroute6 exists in filesystem".

cheers! mar77i

Link from traceroute6 is made by upstream in the Debian `specs` file. IMHO it should rather be made in the makefile. I would add it in the PKGBUILD and open a bug to upstream in the meantime but it is up to the packager's decision.
