Iputils no longer provide ping6 and traceroute6. The functionality of
these tools have been integrated into ping and traceroute respectively. To
enforce an address family the new flags <literal>-4</literal> and
<literal>-6</literal> have been added. One notable incompabtibility is that
specifying an interface (for link-local ipv6 for instance) is no longer done
with the <literal>-I</literal> flag, but by encoding the interface into the
address (<literal>ping fe80::1%eth0</literal>).
