They probably also want commit 40406dbfaefbc ("nft: fix > interface comparisons in `-C` commands"). I could but I've tried before and unless it's a serious problem you're usually out of luck. They instead prefer to push the maintainers to do another release so they can just bump the version number in their package build scripts. It's not too bad, Arch has a user repository for packages and I have found that someone has already made a package build script for the git version of iptables, so I tried installing that and it has fixed the problem, so my immediate concern is sorted now. I just have to remember to remove the git version and go back to the official package when the next version of iptables comes out, as the git packages don't update automatically. Thanks again for getting a fix for this done so quickly. Cheers, Adam.
