If altname deletion of the short alternative name fails, the error message printed is: "Failed to add short alternative name". This is obviously a typo, as we are testing altname deletion. Fix this using a proper error message. Fixes: f95e6c9c4617 ("selftest: net: add alternative names test") Signed-off-by: Andrea Claudi <aclaudi@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
