Bug 231627 – net-misc/arpstar-0.5.5-r1 fails to build against 2.6.25 kernel

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description potatoface 2008-07-12 19:58:53 UTC]

since kernel 2.6.24 or 2.6.25, i dont remember exactly when it first happened, arpstar refuses to build...

the error:

i personally think that this is the root of all evil ;) :

NF_IP_LOCAL_IN’ undeclared

so i grepped for NF_IP_LOCAL_IN: 

/usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4.h:#define NF_IP_LOCAL_IN              1
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4.h:#define NF_IP_LOCAL_IN           1

i think its correctly defined, right?

maybe someone has a solution for this, any help is greatly appreciated...

btw i get the same error with gentoo-sources and vanilla-sources... 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have a kernel 2.6.25 installed (i think it happened with 2.6.24 too)
2. emerge arpstar

Actual Results:  
arpstar build fails with the above error message

Expected Results:  
arpstar should build

emerge --info

.
Well, it seems that Gentoo Bugzilla has gone dumb; at least on this bug. Not
even an acknowledgment that we or the report exists.

FWIW, Jurgen, I'm guessing that Arpstar is dead. I'm guessing that everyone
but a few of us were aware that it has been replaced by arpon:

http://arpon.sourceforge.net/

Arpon seems to be a well-designed tool; my laptop will certainly use it at
hotpots, given Gentoo Arpstar is no longer.

Sorry for the lack of response, we don't have many people working on kernel-misc packages. I bugged the original contributor (Stefan Schweizer) to take a look, but we may just end up removing the package unless someone steps up to maintain it.

[Comment 3 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2008-12-04 22:04:00 UTC]

This package is now facing removal since nobody is looking after it
