Thanks for the info, jth. It is crazy for the repos associated with
kernels 3.8.0 and above to still show xtables 1.47.1 as the latest
version and available, when the package install scripts are explicitly
written to fail their kernel version tests. Version 2.2 or above is the
only xtables-addons which is compatible with these later kernels.
The bzr source worked for me on two different systems, one with i386
kernels low-latency and generic, the other running a custom non-pae i386
kernel.
However, I encountered a couple of issues along the way:
1. the common and dkms debs will not install and subsequently must be
removed if the system does not already have the iptables-dev and dh-
autoreconf packages installed. These ought to be specified in the deb
pre-requisites.
2. the debs did not download and build the xt_geoip csv files automatically, so
I had to run the command:
sudo /usr/lib/xtables-addons/xt_geoip_dl
3. then the command:
sudo /usr/lib/xtables-addons/xt_geoip_build -D /usr/share/xt_geoip *.csv
.. failed until I set up my perl5 environment and installed the CPAN module
Text::CSV_XS
4. finally, the build command failed until I created the target
directory.
