From bd0c87a3ac2fc89cf51b175b1ec8218c9513fed9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 21:02:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iptables: remove /etc/ethertypes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When building an image including iptable built with the libnftnl PACKAGECONFIG, one hits Downloading file:.../oe-rootfs-repo/armv8a/libkmod2 * check_data_file_clashes: Package iptables wants to install file .../rootfs/etc/ethertypes But that file is already provided by package * netbase This used to be handled by 0003-Makefile.am-do-not-install-etc-ethertypes.patch, but that patch got removed with the 1.8.9->1.8.10 upgrade (commit 4616ada82e70). I think the rationale for dropping the patch was wrong; the commit log talks about xtables.conf, which is indeed gone from upstream, but said patch didn't change anything about xtables.conf, it did -dist_conf_DATA = etc/ethertypes etc/xtables.conf +dist_conf_DATA = etc/xtables.conf However, instead of patching iptables to not install ethertypes, and having to forward-port that patch, it is much simpler to just remove the file in this do_install:append.
