Description Bodo Thiesen 2009-03-08 05:25:07 UTC

*  The die message:
 *   For layer 7 support emerge net-misc/l7-filter-2.17 before this.

==> That's what's DEPEND is for

however l7-fitler is such a retared package that in emerges and patches a kernel. this kernel then needs to be compiled with l7-support before iptables can detect this write.

given the kernel is necessarly the same a DEPEND cannot be used.

I'm going to remove all of l7-filter the first chance I get. try l7-userspace and see if that works. it will be a whole heap less package troubles.
