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. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
