Comment 10 for bug 1062256

Bad news for me! I am experimenting on a laptop running quantal, so there isn't a problem (except my time and effort) upgrading. I even have plans to move it to raring 13.04 "properly" and so could consider doing it sooner.

Unfortunately, my production firewall system which really needs xtables-addons (only the ipsets feature) is also running quantal, but with a custom-built kernel. It is a mini-itx that does not have pae support, and all the distribution ubuntu kernels from quantal onwards are built with pae as a pre-requisite. I only moved the system off 12.04 LTS to get around some different problems, and am now stuck with a high maintenance 12.10. The life expectancy of 13.04 is quite short, so I didn't want to keep upgrading this system - it is supposed to be stable!

It is probably too late to downgrade it to 12.04, even if we could be sure there was a suitable xtables-addons package for that distribution.

It looks as if I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. When in doubt... do nothing.
