[Bio-Linux] Red-Carpet update : iptables and iptables-v6

[Dr Dan Swan]

Dear Systems Administrators,

A couple of people have recently brought up the fact that Red-Carpet is
trying to update 2 packages (iptables and iptables-v6) on the system
resulting in an error:

"There are no installable providers of >=kernel-2.4.20 for
iptables-1.2.8-8.72.3[Red Hat Linux 7.3]"

The iptables package provides the firewalling functions of your
Bio-Linux machine.  Without a significant (and non-essential) upgrade of
the system core (the kernel) these 2 packages cannot be installed.

Ignoring these updates will not cause a problem for the operation of the
Bio-Linux machines.  

regards,

Dan
