/lib/xtables/libxt_statistic.so: undefined symbol: lround

Hello!

12.04 and 12.10 have the same problem:

iptables -m statistic --help
/lib/xtables/libxt_statistic.so: /lib/xtables/libxt_statistic.so: undefined symbol: lround
iptables v1.4.12: Couldn't load match `statistic':Success

btw, still can't understand this launchpad behavior- I choosed iptables!

This is fixed in the debian iptables 1.4.16.3-1 package, are we going to sync that for raring? If so, attaching a debdiff for quantal with the fixes backported from upstream commits d4e72dc1c684c2f8361d87e6bde2902cd2ee8efb and 9249ad37b2342eb48009e18f3982362e1018ea5a.

The only issue is that the statistic and rateest modules both use functions from math.h, so need to be explicitly linked with libm.

Might be worth fixing this in precise too, the debdiff is basically the same with a different version number. Still needs an SRU justfication, but probably needs to be fixed in raring first and quantal/precise tasks. The regression potential should be almost non-existent since it just links against -lm. The description already includes a test case.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hmm, I should have checked the bug list more closely, this is actually a duplicate of bug 982961, which also has a patch (with the same basic idea).

[sles (slesru)]

OK, as I see patch in another bug is released in June.
Any chance to have it in updates ? :-)
