Hello,

Thank you for the report. Looks like we need to limit this package version until WSL gets fixed.

We will investigate it

I've gone ahead and downgraded it to 4.9 on my end for now, and that has resolved the problem for now.

Was this package ever held back, or should I continue manually downgrading it for now?

Just to add some more information. I was having the exact same problem with FedoraRemix 33, and downgrading iproute to 5.8.0 was my solution.

Very useful information, becuse we need to do the same to fedora remix at least until Microsoft upgrades the kernel

Hello,

The fix will ship in the next pengwin release. To fix it now just run:

sudo apt-get install -q -y --allow-downgrades iproute2=5.8.0-1

The package was uploaded to whitewater foundry repos. So you don't need to do anything further.

Regards

For Fedora the change is already in upgrade.sh and a new image is being generated
