You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

Smokeping 2.6.11-4 probe FPing is not compatible with fping 4.0 when
setting sourceaddress option.

It happens because the '-S' option is expecting the 3.13 help output but
it has changed in 4.0.

In smokeping version 2.7.1 the '-S' option checking has changed to be
compatible with 3.13 and 4.0.

Version 2.6.11 (FPing.pm line 70)
        $self->{enable}{S} = (`$binary -h 2>&1` =~ /\s-S\s/);
Version 2.7.1 (FPing.pm line 70)
        $self->{enable}{S} = (`$binary -h 2>&1` =~ /\s-S[,\s]/);

It also affects to other options like '-O'.

Reported in 2017-June in Smokeping github
(https://github.com/oetiker/SmokePing/issues/90)

I propose to update Smokeping to version 2.7.1.
