I know it has been way over a month... but I just got around to doing this
upgrade to slink from hamm. Then I started to read this thread!
hummm, this is a problem, and due to my lateness, I cannot get a netbase
3.12 from POTATO. The unstable release is 3.14-1, but that requires you to
install libc6 from potato, and that requires ldso (followed by
libstdc++2.9, apt, development clibs).
Long story short most the libs basically need to be upgraded just to use
ipmasqadm. That is not a good thing in my opinion. I should just run
potato if that is the case. Now dselect reminds me of all the programs
that I have broken (not really but it bitches).
If slink's netbase is not going to include ipmasqadm, then there needs to
be a package for ipmasqadm. To go to potato's netbase cleanly, involves
many iteration.
Just my $.02
