** Summary changed:

- Kernel module ip_conntrack needed by cutter, but module is not autoloaded in 
old kernels and is obsolete in >=3.5.x kernels
+ 'cutter' utility doesn't work anymore because it depends on kernel module 
'ip_conntrack' which is obsolete

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: cutter
  
  It appears, that cutter has some unresolved dependencies, that apt does *not* 
know about.
  Using cutter after a normal installation leads to the following error 
message. Though I don't fully understand its meaning, I'm quite sure it is a 
compatibility problem worth fixing.
  
  Console output of cutter:
  $ cutter
  usage: cutter ip [ port [ ip [ port ] ] ]
  $ sudo cutter 172.16.3.104
  openning /proc/net/ip_conntrack: No such file or directory
  
  Best regards,
  Frederik Braun
  
  P.S.: It is stated in the man page, that cutter has been developed for
  and tested on ipcop and red hat linux - the author should be informed if
  we manage to get it working on ubuntu.
  
  P.P.S.: Report based on Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) and cutter 1.03
  
- WORKAROUND: This problem can be circumvented by either manually loading
+ WORKAROUND: For Ubuntu versions up to the year 2010 with kernel versions
+ below 3.5.x, this problem can be circumvented by either manually loading
  the kernel module "ip_conntrack" either with "sudo modprobe
  ip_conntrack" or by adding a line "ip_conntrack" to the /etc/modules
  file and reboot.
