mtr segfaults, even if u run it from root user.

I reported bug to upstream:

doesn't happen to me; mtr works fine as root and normal user. same version of mtr (0.84-1) from [extra], even though it claims to be ver. 0.83 when queried by "mtr -v". are your other packages up-to-date, particularly glib2 ?
Comment by Dave Reisner (falconindy) - Monday, 06 May 2013, 13:17 GMT
Your strace is useless -- mtr is a setuid binary which is no longer setuid when run via strace. If you'd read your own strace, you'd see that it exits "normally" after failing to call socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW).

Additionally, stack traces are generally worthless for debugging crashes. A proper backtrace from gdb after rebuilding mtr with debug symbols would actually be useful.

Seems, mtr doesn't work with IPv6 as expected..

ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

In error i see, that mtr crash after request to localhost IPv6 loopback: localhost (::)

Will dig more..

You sure it isn't https://github.com/traviscross/mtr/pull/5 which has to do with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in /etc/resolv.conf causing mtr to segfault?

Andrew & Ionut : Arch package should be rebuilt to include commit #cece39e. mtr is currently unusable for some users.
Comment by Andrew Cowie (afcowie) - Friday, 21 June 2013, 01:15 GMT
I built mtr from upstream source and HEAD works fine.

Andrew: Without any ipv6 resolvers, or without doing any dns queries (ie mtr -n <ip>), mtr doesn't segfaults. But this is not really a workaround.
Comment by petrus (petrus_lt) - Sunday, 30 June 2013, 13:10 GMT
According to [1], mtr 0.85 fixes the segfault when having ipv6 resolvers. Can someone update the mtr arch package?

Thanks.
