I am trying to utilize the python-iptables package to list iptables rules in a web app. When I add the iptc package to my environment, I get the below error. I used yum 'provides' to find where the libxtables.so.4 file comes from and found that the iptables
and iptables-devel
packages were the appropriate choice in CentOS 6.4 x64. I upgraded those packages but it did not change the error.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can resolve this?

See this: https://github.com/ldx/python-iptables/issues/25
This is a known problem , old versions of libxtables declared afinfo
as static, thus it is not accessible for python-iptables. There is a possible workaround, though - please keep an eye on the ticket, it will be updated as soon as there has been progress.
Another solution is to update iptables on your machine.
