Package: ipac-ng Version: 1.31-4 Severity: grave
I've attached a patch (this is the "modified" diff from the original source distribution) to fix an issue with ipac-ng when trying to use accounting that involves ports(with tcp and/or udp). Currently ipac-ng is broken as it cannot deal with ports due to a library load issue. This cropped up as a result of the sarge to etch upgrade and appears to be related to the change in the iptables libraries.
The summary of the change is the use of RTLD_LAZY instead of RTLD_NOW in the ipac-ng-1.31/agents/iptables/iptables.c file.
There are two references and I've changed them both to use LAZY. I've actually modified the sf1193721.dpatch file in debian/patches/ as this is the file that really fixes a bunch of other issues as well.
Without this fix, ipac-ng is completely broken and will _NOT_ even start if your config file has port matches for udp/tcp protocols.
This patch fixes the issue and ipac-ng runs perfectly for me (as it used to on sarge).
Please incorporate this (this exact fix can also be backported to the 1.27-5 branch in case 1.31-4 cannot be bumped into stable, which I think should happen!).
The attached diff can be diffed with the previous diff from the source to get the exact changes I've made. Hopefully they are self explanatory.
