Julien, All,

On 2023-08-20 12:33 +0200, Julien Olivain spake thusly:
> This runtime test was suggested in discussion [1]. It should detect
> potential runtime failures such as the one fixed in commit eb74998125
> "package/nftables: fix the build of the pyhon bindings".

Note that this runtime test would *not* have caught the issue that was
uncovered in [1], because it implied a hidden dependency that was not
expressed in nftables' dpendency chain, but was built before nftables
due to another package seelcting it.

Still, a runtiem test is very nice to have nonetheless! :-)

Applied to master, after adding  blurb in the commit log why we need a
special kernel, thanks.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
