Package: iptables Version: 1.3.3-2 Severity: important I've had iptables installed for a long time, but I've never had netfilter compiled into my kernel. Well, recent activity caused me to finally do so, and the first time I went to do '/etc/init.d/iptables save active', I got: --- Saving iptables ruleset: save "active" with counters/etc/init.d/iptables: line 66: /var/lib/iptables/active: No such file or directory
Creating the directory fixed the problem. But I thought you might want to add a check to the preinst scripts making sure the directory is in fact there as it looks like at some point, it either didn't get created by a newly installed iptables or was somehow removed. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.3 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages iptables depends on: ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an iptables recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
