Bug Description
Hello,
while looking to the netstat man page i found out that apparently ubuntu is still using an old version of net tools upstream package, which is still pointing to berlios.de . As far as i know berlios.de is now closed and the packages have been moved to sourceforge.net where they are still maintained: https:/
Could you please clarify me the reason behind having what it appears to be an outdated upstream package?
Many thanks
Samuele

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
This appears already fixed in Yakkety. The changelog says "After 14 years without an upstream release, I am producing a new package based on today's upstream repository" and the Homepage field and debian/watch file point to SourceForge.
If you expect this fixed in Xenial, please review https:/
I'm marking this as Incomplete as I don't feel that you have explained what the problem is here. If you still believe this is a bug, please explain why and set the bug status back to New.
