Package: firestarter
Version: 1.0.3-6
Firestarter refuses to run when you use a locale other than English.
The problem is in the (generated) file /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh.
The following lines:
IP=`/sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \\ -f 1`
MASK=`/sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep Mas | cut -d : -f 4`
BCAST=`/sbin/ifconfig $IF |grep Bcast: | cut -d : -f 3 | cut -d \\ -f 1`
fails when the locale is other than English, because they look up
several keyword ("Mas", "Bcast:") which doesn't appears in ifconfig in
Spanish. Example:
ricardo@kadath:~$ LANG=C ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:f3:53:b2:9a

As a workaround, you can hack the /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh file,
replacing the three above lines with the following:
IP=`LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \\ -f
1`
MASK=`LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep Mas | cut -d : -f 4`
BCAST=`LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig $IF |grep Bcast: | cut -d : -f 3 | cut -d \
\ -f 1`
The following is a patch which can be used to hack the problem, using
the above workaround:
