Some versions of iproute2 will output more than one line per entry, which will cause the test to fail, like: TEST: ipv6: list and flush cached exceptions [FAIL] can't list cached exceptions That happens, for example, with iproute2 4.15.0. When using the -oneline option, this will work just fine: TEST: ipv6: list and flush cached exceptions [ OK ] This also works just fine with a more recent version of iproute2, like 5.4.0. For some reason, two lines are printed for the IPv4 test no matter what version of iproute2 is used. Use the same -oneline parameter there instead of counting the lines twice.
