Patch-o-matic failed... Why?

Patch-o-matic failed... Why?

[Alexander Maus]

Hi,

I'm using kernel 2.4.19 and need the talk-conntrack-patch.
So I got the latest version of netfilter by CVS.
Running './runme extra/talk-conntrack-nat.patch' showed:

=== cut ===
Welcome to Rusty's Patch-o-matic!

Each patch is a new feature: many have minimal impact, some do not.
Almost every one has bugs, so I don't recommend applying them all!
-------------------------------------------------------
Testing... talk-conntrack-nat.patch NOT APPLIED ( 3 missing files)
The extra/talk-conntrack-nat patch:
   Author: Jozsef Kadlecsik <kadlec@blackhole.kfki.hu>
   Status: Alpha
   
   This adds CONFIG_IP_NF_TALK: talk support module for netfilter
   connection tracking and NAT.  This allows both the callee client -
   caller server and callee client - caller client connections to work
   through connection tracking and NAT.
   
   Default both talk (UDP port 517) and ntalk/ntalk2 (UDP port 518) are
   supported. talk/ntalk/ntalk2 supports can selectively be enabled/disabled
   by the module parameters of the ip_conntrack_talk and ip_nat_talk
   modules:
   
   talk=0|1
   ntalk=0|1
   ntalk2=0|1
   
   where '0' means 'don't support' while '1' means 'do support'
   the given protocol flavour.

My question: What's wrong? I couldn't find any hints about this error ("Could
not find place to...").

Apply the newnat patch before the talk-conntrack patch.

You need to apply all pending and submitted patches first.
More specifically, if you're patching your kernel with
conntrack/nat helpers from recent patch-o-matic, you need 
newnat support for your kernel. newnat has been submitted
in between 2.4.19 and 2.4.19 so you're probably still
missing this.

Filip
