This applies to port versions 1.3 and 1.4.2 of babeld.

>Description:

The daemon can't install routes reliably. Sometimes routes would install, but would flap away eventually. This is particularly bad with 1.4.

>How-To-Repeat:

babeld -D -g 33123 -I /var/run/babeld.pid -d 3 tap0 vr3

This is the output from the debug log:

kernel_route: add 172.16.0.30/128 metric 0 dev 10 nexthop 172.16.242.30
kernel_route(ADD): Network is unreachable

>Fix:

Upgrade to the git release - there is a patch to avoid automatic updates to the routing table which fixes this.
