  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;A bit delayed,
  15 &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opensnitch&quot;&gt;the interactive
  16 application firewall OpenSnitch&lt;/a&gt; package in Debian now got the
  17 latest fixes ready for Debian Bookworm.  Because it depend on a
  18 package missing on some architectures, the autopkgtest check of the
  19 testing migration script did not understand that the tests were
  20 actually working, so the migration was delayed.  A bug in the package
  21 dependencies is also fixed, so those installing the firewall package
  22 (opensnitch) now also get the GUI admin tool (python3-opensnitch-ui)
  23 installed by default.  I am very grateful to Gustavo Iñiguez Goya for
  24 his work on getting the package ready for Debian Bookworm.&lt;/p&gt;
  25
  26 &lt;p&gt;Armed with this package I have discovered some surprising
  27 connections from programs I believed were able to work completly
  28 offline, and it has already proven its worth, at least to me.  If you
  29 too want to get more familiar with the kind of programs using
  30 Internett connections on your machine, I recommend testing &lt;tt&gt;apt
  31 install opensnitch&lt;/tt&gt; in Bookworm and see what you think.&lt;/p&gt;
  32
  33 &lt;p&gt;The package is still not able to build its eBPF module within
  34 Debian.  Not sure how much work it would be to get it working, but
  35 suspect some kernel related packages need to be extended with more
  36 header files to get it working.&lt;/p&gt;
