Description Quentin Armitage 2017-05-04 16:16:05 UTC
Description of problem:
Installing iptables also adds symbolic links from
/usr/sbin/ip6tables-restore-translate -> xtables-compat-multi
/usr/sbin/ip6tables-translate -> xtables-compat-multi
/usr/sbin/iptables-restore-translate -> xtables-compat-multi
/usr/sbin/iptables-translate -> xtables-compat-multi

but xtables-compat-multi is part of the iptables-compat package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iptables-4.10.0-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install iptables
2. ls -l /usr/sbin/ip*tables-*translate*
3. Note the symbolic links fail

Actual results:
Symbolic links targets are missing

Expected results:
The symbolic links should be installed by the iptables-compat package, and not the iptables package.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Quentin Armitage 2017-05-04 16:20:05 UTC
Apoligies, the version number is completely wrong. It should be iptables-1.6.1-2

Comment 2 H.J. Lu 2017-07-27 15:44:19 UTC
Confirmed on Fedora 26.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:44:38 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
