Download Net-tools Deb
Ruyan Lynch
This command creates a manifest file named dotnet-tools.json under the .config directory. To add a local tool to the manifest file, use the dotnet tool install command and omit the --global and --tool-path options, as shown in the following example:
apt-get remove -s net-tools shows that the only other package to be removed would be "ubuntu-minimal", which is OK for me. I wonder if everything would keep working and if any change to system and applications network settings would then be needed.
Of course some older software (especially software installed from outside of the repository) might still expect net-tools commands to be present as they were available on most unixoid systems for a long time. If you uninstall this package, then that is something you should keep in mind.
During prerequisite check for an upgrade to Db2 11.5.8.0 on Linux SLES 15.
The ./ db2prereqcheck -v 11.5.8.0, reports the following error where no HADR or PURESCALE is planned/installed.
Error:DBT3507E The db2prereqcheck utility failed to find the following package or file: "net-tools-deprecated".
The validation error may occur for other Db2 versions supported with SLES 15.
Many modern distributions, like for example the upcoming Debian 12 Bookworm, do not install the package net-tools by default. This package contains popular utilities like ifconfig, route, netstat, arp and mii-tool. In this post I give alternatives for these utilities. You can of course just install the net-tools package if you prefer to keep using these commands.
While the net-tools package is deprecated, it is still available to install and use if required or preferred. It should be noted that this package is no longer being maintained nor actively developed. Very few patches are added to the net-tools package at this time.
The iproute2 suite offers the ability to display Infiniband addresses, which net-tools cannot do. It is also able to read from multiple routing tables, network namespaces, and assign multiple IP addresses to one interface (as opposed to creating/displaying an alias interface with the second IP address).
