I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, and I don't have traceroute
, even I've just done,
sudo apt-get install traceroute
So I checked, and indeed traceroute package don't have traceroute program:
$ dpkg -L traceroute

How to do traceroute then?
I remember that ping
can do it, but didn't find that in a rush.
I do have traceroute6
but, don't know how to use it:
$ traceroute6 172.217.2.165
traceroute: 172.217.2.165: Address family for hostname not supported
FTR,
$ lsb_release -a

1I have discovered
mtr
(in like-named package) which is a very cool combined ping/tracetroute and since then I no longer use traceroute. – xenoid – 2019-02-22T14:23:21.033
