[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#599006: Probably due to a missing dependency

[Brice Arnould]

I was having the same problem, apparently it was caused by the fact
that gawk was not installed.

This triggered that if statement :
"    if ((iptables_cmd_path != NULL || ip6tables_cmd_path != NULL) &&
"        (!grep_cmd_path || !bash_cmd_path || !gawk_cmd_path)) {
"        virNWFilterReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "%s",
"                               _("essential tools to support ip(6)tables "
"                                 "firewalls could not be located"));
in nwfilter/nwfilter_ebiptables_driver.c .

IMHO a dependency to gawk should be added to the libvirt0 package.

Best,
Brice
