  ping: socket: Address family not supported by protocol

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

Bug description:
  The ping utility prints this curious error/warning message:

  ```
  ping: socket: Address family not supported by protocol
  ```

  Otherwise seems to be working just fine:

  ```
  > ping 127.0.0.1
  ping: socket: Address family not supported by protocol
