Hi all,
Just had a look through the netfilter mailing list archive and found the announcement for iptables-1.8.4 and it mentions the following:-
"libiptc: - Generic libiptc.so shared object is no longer built, likely all users link to libip4tc.so or libip6tc.so directly"
So that explains the problem we are having. So it looks like collectd needs to be rewritten to use libip4tc.so or libip6tc.so shared libraries. Until then I presume we have to stay on iptables-1.8.3
For the time being, yes. There are some other packages to work on first.
However, this would be an easy fix we can simply patch into our version of collectd and therefore we should be fine.
Could someone please submit a patch for iptables which we are not going to merge, yet, and create a ticket for fixing collectd and assigning that to me?
Best, -Michael

Hi all,
I ran the build of iptables 1.8.3 and 1.8.5 and compared the logs for the two of them. The problem seems to be that 1.8.5 never creates the libiptc.so libraries. It only creates the libip4tc.so and libip6tc.so libraries.
iptables-1.8.3 creates libip4tc.so, libip6tc.so and libiptc.so libraries.
I have checked the changelogs for the 1.8.4 and 1.8.5 releases of iptables and it doesn't mention anything about this, as far as I can see.

Did the iptables build by any chance remove libiptc?
Yes. Confirmed with a clean build.
No idea how to fix this, yet.
