Hey! KERNEL_DIR is not set.
Where is your kernel source directory? [/usr/src/linux]
/home/src/linux-2.6.32
Hey! IPTABLES_DIR is not set.
Where is your iptables source code directory? [/usr/src/iptables]
/home/src/iptables-1.4.4
/home/src/iptables-1.4.4 doesn't look like a iptables source code
directory to me.

supposed concern of the post is probably what was
curiously found in the subject line only:

does it mean that your iptables is an 1ubuntu1 specific one?

and then, what's a "patchomatic"? what's is it supposed to achieve,
where does it come fron? did you try to achieve the equivalent
elseway anywhere?

ah, an "unknowstuff" growing "unknowndoodah-NewGen", good idea,
probably a change in exchange rules in some place ,-)
More seriously, do you have any documentation about that "patchomatic"?

uh oh, smells like either a pebcak or some toolie's gone mad
while facing the real world?-)

Can you reproduce the problem
on every case you try and do that "patcho" thing? What if
on another machine? What if done after reading the Catch22 in
the doc? And what about an answer from 1ubuntu1 specialized group?
