multipile errors when compiling with module-assistant

[Igor Wawrzyniak]

compiling with:
module-assistant build netfilter-extensions-source

error message:
[snip]
/usr/src/modules/netfilter-extensions/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_set.c:27:27: error: asm/semaphore.h: No such file or directory

fix: removing the offending line makes IPSET extension compile.

Process fails later with:
/usr/src/modules/netfilter-extensions/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_TARPIT.c:241: error: 'NF_IP_LOCAL_IN'

CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TARPIT = n

I didn't need TARPIT, so I used a simple workaround: in
/usr/src/modules/netfilter-extensions/net/ipv4/netfilter
set CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TARPIT = n
instead of =m

Ubuntu 8.04 Server, package versions:
netfilter-extensions-source 20080326+debian-1
module-assistant 0.10.11ubuntu1
linux-headers: 2.6.27-9.19 AND linux-headers-server 2.6.27.9.13 (I'm not sure why, I guess it was
apt's decision)

[Igor Wawrzyniak (igor-tumus)]

same problem in Ubuntu Server 8.10

[Christian Roessner (christian-roessner-net)]

Tried to build this package with:

module-assistant --verbose --text-mode auto-install netfilter-extensions

under Intrepid.

Got the following error messages:

Hi,

I can confirm the problem also on my side under jaunty ...

[Igor Wawrzyniak (igor-tumus)]

Same issue in Lucid beta. What's the point of providing a package that has been unusable for at least two years?

[Igor Wawrzyniak (igor-tumus)]

There's a package xtables-addons-source in Karmic and Lucid. This one compiles fine, contains the same modules and some more. I think this package shoud be removed and xtables-addons should have Replaces: netfilter-extensions-source

[Oibaf (oibaf)]

The package is no longer available since 15 years, please use xtables-addons.
