How to upgrade iproute2 to the latest version?

[Qin, Xiaohong]

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the tip. I can use dpkg command to install it by myself. Do you know from where I can download the .deb file for iproute2?

You can either add raring to your sources.list and mess around with apt-pinning to pull iproute from there with apt-get, you can download the raring deb and install it with dpkg, or you can pull the raring iproute source and rebuild it.
