psad: could not add iptables block rule for: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and IPT_AUTO_CHAIN1 keyword not found

[flaggz]

Even after updating to GitHub version I still got these errors in the log and I can't auto block ip addresses.
Tried with ENABLE_OVERRIDE_FW_CMD Y or N but the problem remains

messages log:

psad: invalid IPT_AUTO_CHAIN1 keyword, INPUT chain does not exist.
