[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#934740: nftables: broken on BE

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Source: nftables
Version: 0.9.1-2
Severity: serious
Tags patch

Hello, after trying to understand why firewalld was completely broken on s390x, and discussing with nftables upstream, they found that a particular commit: 142350f154c7
broke Big Endian machines.

this is the set of patches:

Also, please add docbook-xsl build dependency, on some systems, it might be not installed and then the build fail because of missing schema

e.g.

You can grab patches from my Ubuntu upload
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nftables/0.9.1-2ubuntu3

including the missing schema fix.

thanks
(I'm still testing them, but I prefer to open the RC bug in advance, I'll update in case something else is needed)
