Re: iptables geoip not working after update to jessie

[lists <lists@merit.unu.edu>]

Hi,

So, I removed xtables-addons-source:

 apt-get remove xtables-addons-source

And reinstalled xtables-addons-dkms:

 apt-get install --reinstall xtables-addons-dkms

That built the module, and things started working again.

Thanks Reco!
