The next release will have this in the manual page:
If your kernel does not support rtnetlink (routing messages),
you will get a warning of the form
traceroute: Warning: findsaddr: error sending netlink message: <reason>
traceroute: Warning: ip checksums disabled
This is harmless as IP checksums will be provided by the kernel,
and UDP checksums (which are also disabled when rtnetlink is
unavailable) are optional.
