Comment 6 for bug 1062256

I was only partly correct in post #5. The circumvention allowed module-assistant to successfully build xtables-addons, so that was good news. Unfortunately, when I rebooted my system there was another crash - this time with xt-ACCOUNT.c. Following the advice in one of the many bug reports on this subject, I also commented that line in mconfig (both copies), but the m-a build failed again, saying it could not find xtables and recommended I ran m-a -f get. That seemed to reinstall the package, but it would not build properly... because of xt_RAWNAT again!

So I edited both copies of mconfig, successfully ran module-assistant, rebooted to another crash. It happens every time I reboot.

When I have rebooted, after the inevitable crash, I can see:
/usr/src/modules/xtables-addons/mconfig still contains my comments.
/usr/src/xtables-addons-1.42/mconfig has lost my comments and has been restored to the distribution state.
/usr/src/ contains xtables-addons.tar.bz2 and xtables-addons-modules-3.5.0-34-lowlatency_1.42-2_i386.deb

dpkg --list xtables-addons-dkms and xtables-addons-common both show status of "ii", so I do not understand why a reboot causes the module to be rebuilt and fail.

I tried apt-get remove xtables-addons-dkms, then install, then edited both mconfigs, but that just takes me round the loop again. It feels like groundhog day.

Would life get better for me if I downloaded the source and built my own debs, or would I just waste more time?
