[Bug 1508225] Re: tipc tool isn't built in iproute2
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I see that libmnl-dev is in universe in Ubuntu so it should be
relatively easy to add the build dependency, but we are in final freeze
right now so this may have to wait until the next release.
This bug also should be sent upstream to Debian as our build-depends
line is derived from theirs, and I don't see any reason for Ubuntu to be
different from Debian here.

Title:
tipc tool isn't built in iproute2
Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
A new tool "tipc" was added to iproute2 v 4.1.1, needed for managing
the TIPC kernel module.
Despite being present in the source code, it has not been built in the current iproute2 package that comes with 15.10, something forcing all users to check out the code and build it manually.
The reason for the buld failure is that it has a dependency to libmnl-dev, although this is not listed in the dependency list. Stephen Hemminger has confirmed that that using libmnl in iproute2 is ok, but unfortunately the dependency has been made optional, meaning that the build will just silently bypass TIPC is libmnl-dev is not found.
If you just add libmnl-dev to the dependency list and make sure it is
available when iproute2 is built the problem should be solved. On our
side we will try to have the optionality removed from iproute2.
