Package: ferm
Version: 2.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
with the latest updates iptables moved its binaries away from /sbin
to /usr/sbin/, keeping only compatibility smlinks in /sbin.
According to iptables' NEWS.Debian, these symlinks shall go away after
the Buster release cycle.
The attached patch updates ferm to also take /usr/sbin into consideration
when looking for the tools, independent of the $PATH setting.
Please consider including it in an update release of ferm.
Thanks form maintaining ferm in Debian
Peter
