Bug 154721 – Emerge of IPTables fails without 'extensions' enabled

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Philip Ludlam 2006-11-10 12:31:28 UTC]

Hi All,

If I try to emerge iptables without enabling 'extensions' then compilation of iptables fails.

root@gauge ~ # emerge iptables -ptv

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

I have just enabled the extensions use flag for iptables in the file /etc/portage/package.use and re-emerged iptables with success.
