Hi @paulmenzel! The ipcalc saga continues. Can you please confirm if you have the -d or -r option on ipcalc v0.5? What distro and version? Thanks.

See the output of dpkg above, but it’s Debian sid/unstable, and it only has the switch -r, and not -d apparently. (It worked up until fetch the latest changes today.)

$ ipcalc --help
[…]
 -n --nocolor  Don't display ANSI color codes.
 -c --color    Display ANSI color codes (default).
 -b --nobinary Suppress the bitwise output.
 -c --class    Just print bit-count-mask of given address.
 -h --html     Display results as HTML (not finished in this version).
 -v --version  Print Version.
 -s --split n1 n2 n3
               Split into networks of size n1, n2, n3.
 -r --range    Deaggregate address range.
    --help     Longer help text.

Ok. Apparently what should be ipcalc v0.42 actually reports itself as v0.5 for some reason which slips me (as also noted here). I had checks in place to make sure version was >=0.41 (as per issue #34) which was indeed correct, but didn't account for ipcalc's mission to drive people crazy with versions, forks and different implementations under the same name.

The initial trouble started with @odoucet's system running v0.2.x (which didn't have range deaggregation), so I'll fix it by checking if >= 0.5 instead of 0.41 - that should settle the matter for Debian-based systems, account for Redhat-based version overlapping, and hopefully mark the end of the saga :-)

Thanks for reporting!
