Changes says that net-tools 1.49 is required. It says to use 'hostname
-V' to determine the version, but this does not work. 'route -V' in both
slink and potato indicate that the net-tools version is 1.45.
Is an upgrade needed here? I haven't noticed any problems with this, but
I'm not familiar with the specific differences between 1.45 and 1.49.

I see that Documentation/CHANGES says that net-tools 1.49 is required. It
says to use 'hostname -V' to determine the version, but this does not
work. 'route -V' in both slink and potato that the net-tools version is
1.45. Is an upgrade needed here?
