Package: xtables-addons
Version: 1.26
In IRC I received a report from a Debian user who fell victim to the
lack of proper dependencies. The system, if I understood him right,
started out with xtables-addons-1.26 and iptables-1.4.3.
The libxt_*.so files in xtables-addons are linked against
libxtables.so.4, the latter of which is only provided starting from
iptables 1.4.6.
In rpm-based systems, xtables-addons(.rpm) would have a (automatically
detected during build) Requires: libxtables.so.4, and since only
iptables 1.4.6 provides this, the package manager du jour would have
either
1. suggested to upgrade to iptables 1.4.6
2. not install xtables-addons
However in .deb I don't see anything that would enforce this.
Manually adding "iptables >= 1.4.6" to xtables-addons.dsc does not look
right either - it's easy to forget updating this, etc.

Oldest available iptables-dev 1.4.8-3 on Squeeze (oldstable) is not
problematic for xtables-addons. There is no further action needed so
I'm closing this old bug that is no longer relevant...
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected],
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
