Exactly. This package needs to be updated to 1.41 for Linux 3.2.

In the mean time, apply this patch (--strip 2) to /usr/src/xtables-addons-1.40:
http://xtables-addons.git.sf.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=xtables-addons/xtables-addons;a=patch;h=aee5aedc63d0bc2d9a826c5e936b83295de20aa9;hp=e69b4030774a60dc51495db620466f3bf4f25099

Don't forget the ipset-change in mconfig. You also have to change dkms.conf to account for the missing ipset-modules. After that run dpkg-reconfigure xtables-addons-dkms.

Why has this not been fixed for the upcoming release? You are about to release a *broken* package. There has been a known fix, with a patch even, for over 3 months.

Seeing as this doesn't work in precise at all. I propose syncing to 1.41-2 from Debian/testing. They build, but I haven't played with them.

Hello Karl, or anyone else affected,

Accepted xtables-addons into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I wasn't sure what to test, but I can confirm that both 1.41-2ubuntu0.1 and 1.42-1 build and work perfectly on Ubuntu 12.04.
