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

Status in smokeping package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
