I'm hitting the problem shown in the attached log when running "mvn clean package" e.g. in infrautils/common/features/infrautils-features4 (with https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/c/53109/ locally built & installed):

This appears to be related to the following similar findings by others:

It may occur on Fedora Linux more typically. It happens I think reproducibly when I work with my laptop plugged into Ethernet, and then take it off the docking and go on WiFi. Specifically this seems to be the root cause:

$ hostname
khany

$ ping khany
PING khany.home (192.168.1.114) 56(84) bytes of data.
From khany-1.home (192.168.1.124) icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
From khany-1.home (192.168.1.124) icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable

$ ifconfig
enp0s31f6: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 50:7b:9d:fb:74:ca txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
This USED TO BE 192.168.1.114 when it was plugged into Ethernet

wlp4s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.124 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
This is the WiFi...

Not even a full cold system reboot seems to help in this case.. I can't run Pax Exam tests while on WiFi; have to plug back in! Not 100% why; may be because my home router remembers "khany.home" (*.home is the default DNS suffix that home router give my laptop via DHCP) wrong, and does not support laptop with WiFi & wired correctly..
