Package: iptables-persistent
Version: 1.0.3
Severity: normal
Hi.
Apparently in some version,
/etc/iptables/rules.v6
/etc/iptables/rules.v4
used to be conffiles, which is no longer the case...
But it seems those files were never cleaned up properly within dpkg (using
DH maintainer scripts), so one gets behaviour like this:
# dpkg-repack iptables-persistent
dpkg-repack: Skipping obsolete conffile /etc/iptables/rules.v6
dpkg-repack: Skipping obsolete conffile /etc/iptables/rules.v4
dpkg-deb: building package `iptables-persistent' in
`./iptables-persistent_1.0.3_all.deb'.
Cheers,
Chris.

Hello Christoph
the last release of iptables-persistent when /etc/iptables/rules.v[4|6]
were marked as `conffiles` was 0.5.3+nmu1 which is older than
old-old-stable.
I agree than the bug is valid, but I don't think is worth fixing it this
late.
thanks
