Package: iptables
Version: 1.8.2-2+b1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Issue occure during iptables:i386 1.8.2-2 -> 1.8.2-2+b1 upgrade.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/iptables.postinst fail with message:
ln: failed to create symbolic link ''$'\t'' /sbin/iptables-save': No such file or directory
The root cause is here :
<script>
LIST="/sbin/iptables
/sbin/iptables-save
/sbin/iptables-restore
/sbin/ip6tables
/sbin/ip6tables-save
/sbin/ip6tables-restore"
for i in $LIST ; do
</script>
There are tabs before "/sbin/", so this cause "for i in $LIST" issue (tabs are used as a file name)
Workaround: Remove tabs:
<patch>
LIST="/sbin/iptables
/sbin/iptables-save
/sbin/iptables-restore
/sbin/ip6tables
/sbin/ip6tables-save
/sbin/ip6tables-restore"
</patch>
Issue are similar with #914074 and #914129, but not exactly the sames.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Olivier
