Simple: if you need that particular functionality you must use a version
which include it (meaning: do not use ~ARCH if you are not prepared to
take the consequences).



yep ... and this is why we have all the files in /etc/portage/ so you can lock in older versions for a while


In this case iptables-1.3 is missing, it's not a old version, it's the new one :p since I'm using a plain iptables I've modified the old one and used that to install the 1.3 version.
see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80556


if these features are really that critical, why dont you forward port them yourself ? :p
