Package: shorewall
Version: 4.5.5.3-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


I followed https://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/shorewall to install and activate 
shorewall. But running "shorewall check" gives folowing output.

It is possible to start shorewall and iptables -L shows the expected rules.

A quick on-line search for kernel 3.14 and netlink brought up: 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/24/719
I know shorewall expects stock kernel 3.2 and not bpo kernel 3.14. I have 
searched Debian bug reports but found none describing this error.

Bernard,

I apologize for never having looked at this report.  I think that the
root cause of the problem is that the Shorewall version (from October
2012) and the kernel version (initial upstream release April 2014) have
some incompatibilities.  As this problem seems to be specific to Wheezy
(oldstable) with a backported kernel that no longer exists anywhere in
the archive, and because I have systems currently running Shorewall both
on stable and stable with the standard kernel and no issues, I am
closing this bug report.

If you encounter this or similar issues again please file a report and I
will endeavour to attend to it in a more timely fashion.

Regards,

-Roberto
