Upgrading has been less of a pain than I would have anticipated, as it is in squeeze and dependencies are quite minimal. Now my filter is running with it. I'll wait to see if I still get problems. In case it serves other lenny users, the relevant steps for upgrading are: 1) ensure apt configuration reads squeeze too: the three files /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/preferences /etc/apt/apt.conf should be set more or less as described in http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html 2# apt-get update 3# apt-get install -t testing libnetfilter-queue1 Reading package lists...
