I am using Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS and the netkit-rwall package which contains
rwall is the same version 0.17-7 in Debian.

 

I have fixed the problem in rwall.c and created a debdiff and PPA under 

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netkit-rwall/+bug/1277981

 

It looks like Upstream no longer exists.

Mail to [email protected] is undeliverable and the domain is not known
to DNS so I'm reporting this to Debian as requested by Ubuntu.

 

I hope I haven't duplicated this bug.

I previously submitted it using

reportbug -B debian [email protected] rwall

from a Ubuntu 14.04 live session and it seemed to work but I haven't
received any email response or seen it appear on
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=rwall after a couple
of hours so I'm submitting again by email.
