Title:
  arping should return when there is nothing left to do

Status in Iputils:
  Fix Released
Status in iputils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When using arping with a count and every probe has been answered
  promptly, arping waits until the next probe would be sent before
  printing the stats and returning. That is an unnecessary delay.

  In the function recv_pack in arping.c, we have

  290 			if (quit_on_reply)
  291 				finish();

  where it could be

  290 			if(quit_on_reply || count == 1 && received == sent)
  291 				finish();
