Package: nftables
Version: 0.9.1-2~bpo10+1
Severity: important
All of the documentation I have uncovered online completely use
things like,
-> eg, take this nft add rule line
nft add rule inet filter input counter drop
Here there's two problems when trying to do this on Debian.
1) Debian uses "nft add rule ip" and not "nft add rule inet"
2) Debian uses "INPUT" << capitals for the chain name and not small caps.
(small caps for the chain name also does not work on Debian's nft)
Debian needs to document these changes in
/usr/share/doc/nftables/README.Debian

1) nft allows one to specify with address family to work with. See ADDRESS
FAMILIES in the manpage or
https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Nftables_families
2) chain names are totally arbitrary. They can be either lower case or upper
case. This is properly documented in the manpage as well, and also in
https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Configuring_chains
I don't see any actionable here. Closing bug now.
Thanks for your report though!
