Comment 1 Dick Gevers 2011-06-13 03:10:50 CEST

Thanks Ahmad for updating shorewall to 4.4.20.2. 

But the error / warning (?) reportedd remains. Is this because Mageia is ahead of shorewall providing perl's version? Is it only a warning that shorewall should soon get it's act together and harmless? or?

Thanks beforehand!

Yes, shorewall upstream will have to adapt the code. I am not sure, but I think it's harmless warning, still a bug should be filed upstream.

I'll do what I can.

Comment 4 Dick Gevers 2011-06-13 09:38:15 CEST

Posted a question to shorewall-devel, see:
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.shorewall.devel
and waiting for feedback. If no replies in a reasonable time, I'll register at shorewall.net & post a ticket on their trac.
