Description Miika Komu 2013-10-11 11:57:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

libipq library is deprecated and the associated kernel modules are absent from the latest kernel versions. The replacement for libipq is libnetfilter. However, in order to use libnetfilter you need (i) libnetfilter-queue and (ii) the associated development package (with headers etc). These two packages are missing from Redhat, which renders the software depending on libnetfilter broken on Redhat. The two libraries are included in Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

All releases, including the latest 6.4

How reproducible:

Try to install libnetfilter queue and the development package in Redhat. N/A.

Additional info:

The package seems to be installable from here, but I don't think it's available in the official Redhat:

ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/security%3A/netfilter/RHEL_6/i686/libnetfilter_queue1-1.0.2-34.1.i686.rpm
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/security%3A/netfilter/RHEL_6/x86_64/libnetfilter_queue-devel-1.0.2-34.1.x86_64.rpm

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-13 23:00:32 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Can I change this bug request to target the next release or how should proceed with this?
