Seems to be a bug in ping in potato -

netbase (3.14-1) unstable; urgency=low

* Added iputils package. (provides ping6, traceroute6, and
tracepath{,6})

* ipdwadm-wrapper: Fixed thinko in helptext, and added check for
/proc/net/ip_acct as well as /proc/net/ip_input to better check
some ipfwadm (pre-2.1.x) systems. Thanks to Francesco Portorti.
(Bug#34879,#34880,#34912,#35016)

* /bin/ping: Recompiled with new fakeroot to fix weird group errors.
(Bug#34994,#34998)
