Description Tyler Montbriand 2007-10-16 21:24:04 UTC 
In both /sbin/arptables-save and /sbin/arptables-restore, you will find the
following line:

my $tool = "__EXEC_PATH__/arptables";

__EXEC_PATH__/ should be /sbin/

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge arptables
2. /sbin/arptables-save
Actual Results:  
it prints "ERROR: Tool __EXEC_PATH__/arptables isn't executable"

Expected Results:  
It should have been able to find the tool.

I will attach a patch that fixes these paths.
