[Bug 943502] Re: whois doesn't properly query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs and incorrect format for whois.arin.net

[James Page]

@Chris

Thanks for taking the time to work on this bug.

Its a little unclear from this bug report as to whether you are
requesting a backport of 5.0.14/25 from precise to oneiric (as in the
attached files) OR you want to SRU the required fixes into oneiric (as
in the description for this bug).

The process is a little different for each and the outcome is supported
differently:

Backports: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports

SRU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

I'm going to un-subscribe ubuntu-sponsors for the time being.

Please re-subscribe this team to the bug report when you feel its ready
for further review.

Thanks

James

Title:
  whois doesn't properly query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs and incorrect format for
  whois.arin.net

Status in “whois” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “whois” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Fixes issues using whois with .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs. In addition updates query format for IPs when accessing ARIN.

  [Development Fix]
  These issues were fixed in 5.0.14 of whois.

  [Stable Fix]
  Since most of the fixes are covered in updating from 5.0.11 to 5.0.14, a backport of these version provides all fixes.

  [Test Case]
  1) whois google.hr (works on precise, not on oneiric)
  2) whois registry.sx google.com.pe
  3) whois 74.125.113.102
     if we use this command in precise we see that whois adds "n +" to the query, while
     in oneiric it doesn't add that.

  [Regression Potential]
  Most of the changes are fairly minimal, although any changes to mkpasswd should be investigated.

  Problem Description:
  whois in oneiric can't query .hr/.sx/.pe TLDs. In addition the query format for ARIN is different than in precise.

  Version affected:
  Current Oneiric Version: 5.0.11ubuntu2
