I am running Debian Sarge and I have just installed iptables following the

whether I need to remove the iptables package provided by Debian, but I would
guess this is necessary. It appears the iptables version I downloaded from
the ipsets homepage is a newer version of iptables than what is present in
Debian Sarge but if I remove the Debian iptables package, I will need to put
a dummy package in its place so as not to cause shorewall to be removed.
Does the old package need to be removed?
You can install the new package next to the old one (f.i. in /usr/local)
but I would look at packaging the new version. As you have the old
package, this should be relatively trivial.
