Bug Description

Hi,
I found this by trying to merge a newer strongswan which was an FTFBS.
I wondered what happened and found:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=947176

This is exactly my issue and we might face FTBFS in strongswan, systemd and probably others as well.

The fix seems to be to merge iptables 1.8.4-2 from Debian.
Could someone usually looking after iptables do that please?

Actually this isn't as bad as I first thought, but it can be. Let me illustrate how/why.

iptables changed its -dev packaging.
Then strongswan adapted by changing iptables-dev to libip4tc-dev + libip6tc-dev.

If strongswan would have stayed as-is it woul still work. But due to adapting to the former change in 1.8.4-1 for debian #939243 it now after 1.8.4-2 for #947176 is an FTBFS.

While we could merge the newer iptables in general (therefore leaving this bug open, but change to 1.8.4 merge request) I think I can fix the current issue in strongswan by adding a build-dependency to get the old libiptc.pc installed.

Yep gets me back to checking for libiptc... yes

Adding a Strongswan task ...

Actually the merge of 1.8.4 and the FTBFS are so different - closing the iptables tasks to live in a different place if needed.

no longer affects: iptables (Debian)

This bug was fixed in the package strongswan - 5.8.2-1ubuntu1

---------------
strongswan (5.8.2-1ubuntu1) focal; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #1861971). Remaining changes:
    - d/control: Transition from strongswan-tnc-* being in extra packages
      to libcharon-extra-plugins (drop after 20.04)
    - d/control: Transition from former Ubuntu only libcharon-standard-plugins
      to common libcharon-extauth-plugins (drop after 20.04)
    - d/control: strongswan-starter hard-depends on strongswan-charon,
      therefore bump the dependency from Recommends to Depends. At the same
      time avoid a circular dependency by dropping
      strongswan-charon->strongswan-starter from Depends to Recommends as the
      binaries can work without the services but not vice versa.
  * Added Changes
    - d/control: build-depend on libiptc-dev to avoid FTBFS (LP: #1861975)
      This is needed due to changes in regard to Debian bug 947176 and 939243
      and can later be dropped again.

strongswan (5.8.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Jean-Michel Vourgère ]
  * README.Debian: Fixed typo

  [ Yves-Alexis Perez ]
  * d/control: replace iptables-dev b-dep by libip{4,6}tc-dev (Closes: #946148)
  * d/watch: use uscan special strings
  * New upstream version 5.8.2
  * d/control: update dh compat level to 12
  * strongswan-nm: update path for dbus service file
  * install DRBG plugin to libstrongswan
  * d/control: add ${misc:Pre-Depends} to strongswan-starter
