Hi there,

I'm going around making fixes for bug 283320, and whilst fixing up conntrack-tools, I noticed that the latest version now has a conditional on either IPV4 or IPV6 conntracking, and it will die if neither are present.

As was discussed on gentoo-dev, it's probably better to still build the tools (since they should build) and let the tools complain when run against a kernel without the correct configuration.  As such, could you please change the die to some kind of a warning instead please.  Thanks...  5:)
