[Bug 1508225] Re: tipc tool isn't built in iproute2
Anyone can do it. I was just trying to be helpful in identifying what
needed doing. But I have now filed this in Debian for you.
> FYI, Redhat fixed a similar report on Fedora 23 within a few hours,
after their official final freeze.
Have Red Hat released a version of RHEL with tipc support? Otherwise it
is not a fair comparison since they do not provide enterprise-level
support for Fedora.

Title:
tipc tool isn't built in iproute2

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.
