Unfortunately, I've had to reverse the patch because it is incomplete:
a) It only modifies the installers.
b) It does not make similar modifications to the uninstallers.
c) More importantly, it doesn't modify the code that actually uses the
LIBEXEC setting. So:
- /sbin/shorewall and /sbin/shorewall6 can't find compiler.pl
- /sbin/shorewall and /sbin/shorewall6 can't find shorecaps on
a remote firewall that runs the corresponding -lite package.
