Bug Description

I am LFS user and try to compile kdebase-runtime-4.6.1.
I found that ntrack-011 doesn't compile with libnl2. Here log of make:

I think it is error in modules/ntrack-libnl.c. Macro NL_CACHE_MNGR_ADD in case of libnl2 defined as nl_cache_mngr_add (mngr, name, 0, &cache_o) (with 4 arguments), but according to /usr/include/netlink/cache.h and libnl documentation (http://www.infradead.org/~tgr/libnl/doc/group__cache__mngr.html#g3e146ccb5a6945dc4dfc443fc5b19ae1) this function is declared as
extern int nl_cache_mngr_add(struct nl_cache_mngr *, const char *, change_func_t, void *, struct nl_cache **);
and have 5 arguments.

Hmm ... I was quite sure I tested 0.11 with libnl2 ;) ... let me check what happens here.

during configure I see:

build succeeds.

dpkg -l libnl2-dev on maverick
ii libnl2-dev 1.99+git20091216-2 development library and headers for libnl2

which could mean that API changed after 1.99

and in netlink/cache.h I have:
extern int nl_cache_mngr_add(struct nl_cache_mngr *,
                                                  const char *,
                                                  change_func_t,
                                                  struct nl_cache **);

checking in final 2.0 and current git master, your signature seems to be right.

Unfortunately, I saw that debian updated to final 2.0 without bumping package soname. That's bad. Anyway, let me poke this a bit once I have sorted this packaging problem.; but from what I see its a data field. passing a 0 pointer in the macro as parameter position 3 might be fine for you.

ok, I guess I shouldn't care that much about 1.99+git snapshot that was packaged in ubuntu etc. I will just fix it for 2.0+real and declare it a regression that experimental libnl2 backend received after upstream moved to final 2.0 API.

Folks that use maverick or natty have libnl1.1 anyway by default.

While looking I saw that libnl 3.0 is available as well; would you be willing to try that out and report back?

for anyone interested, filed http://bugs.debian.org/619753 on the SONAME issue. lets see what they are willing to do. Its a bit of a mess to fix this, so I guess we have to live that debian/ubuntu have broken libnl2 packaged.

i fixed this in trunk i think.

Try bzr branch lp:ntrack and see if that source works better.
