8.96. iptables

Updated iptables packages that fix two bugs and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The iptables utility controls the network packet filtering code in the Linux kernel.

Bug Fixes

BZ#1059214
Previously, when alternative packages were removed manually, it was impossible to uninstall the iptables-ipv6 packages. The underlying source code has been patched, and iptables-ipv6 can now be uninstalled regardless of manually modified alternatives.
BZ#1070123
When upgrading the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 minimal installation to version 7.0 using the redhat-upgrade-tool utility, the "%postun" scriptlet of iptables-ipv6 failed. Blocks preventing the old package from uninstalling have been removed, and iptables-ipv6 can now be uninstalled successfully.

Enhancement

BZ#1033270
