Package: arno-iptables-firewall
Version: 1.8.8.n-1
Severity: important

The new version 1.8.8.n contains the following errors which are fixed
upstream (1.8.8.o):

* The package disables all plugins because it cannot find
  them anymore, so it is a securiry risk, if a user depends on a plugin
  enabled before installation.
  The errors lies in restructuring the plugins. The main file misses a
  variable $PLUGIN_BIN_PATH pointing in debian to
  /usr/share/arno-iptables-firewall/plugins. The old legacy $PLUGIN_PATH
  should be equal, but is not used by newer plugins anymore.

* The multiroute plugin does not load because it cannot find its config
  file. In the header the filename should be mentioned, not the complete
  path. This leads to the fact that the path is two times in the sourced
  filename (one time from the wron defined variable, one time from the
  PLUGIN_CONF_PATH). All other plugins simply point to the filename.

Both bugs are fixed upstream. The only difference to upstream is in debian,
that the plugin directory is under /usr/share. This must be considered when
modifying the script patches.
