Old versions of whois seemed to have no problem with looking up ip

But the latest versions, at least debian lenny, gives the error -
Unknown AS number or IP network. Please upgrade this program.
when querying an IP address. I see talk about it in a google search but
no solution. Am I doing something wrong in the search or is this a bug?
Seems to work fine for me in squeeze, at least.
paulproteus@rose:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/whois
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 54936 Jul 11 11:24 /usr/bin/whois
paulproteus@rose:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/whois
whois: /usr/bin/whois
paulproteus@rose:~$ whois 128.151.2.1 | grep City
City: Rochester
Seems to work okay. There are a few whois programs -- which are you using?
If a bug renders a program unusable, you could file a high severity bug
against the version in lenny, and if the package maintainer agrees, the
version in lenny can be upgraded.
