Description James Hogarth 2017-09-26 14:34:13 UTC 
On linux the net-tools suite of utilities has been long since deprecated.

The relevant code that gets executed on Fedora and EPEL should be identified and patched out, with a suitable pull request upstream, to remove the dependency on any tool in the net-tools package and instead use suitable tools form iproute2.
Comment 1 Vitezslav Crhonek 2017-10-04 12:29:42 UTC 
I didn't find any usage of net-tools in openwsman and it's been also already reported in the past that net-tools dependency can be removed (see [1]). It seems that it's remained in -server subpackage requires just by mistake.
