Bug Description

Binary package hint: shorewall-perl

The current version of shorewall-perl, and probably shorewall-shell, has problems when using the builtin QoS capability due a bug of the current iproute distributed with Hardy stable.

I have already filed a bug for iproute:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iproute/+bug/226307

but there are workarounds available for the described problem. It is a matter of deciding where the solution to this problem will go, in the shorewall package or in iproute.

A fix for previous versions of shorewall is described here (See #2):

http://www.shorewall.com.au/3.4/shorewall-3.4.7/known_problems.txt

I haven't tested if it works with the current version.

I have tested it by installing: iproute_20071016-3_amd64.deb and the shorewall-perl compilation finished successfully.
