Package: firehol-common
Version: 3.1.6+ds-8
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

I recently upgraded my firewall from stretch to buster. For the first
time, I did an apt-get upgrade before apt-get dist-upgrade, I usually
just do the latter. This broke the system.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

When restarting firehol, it complained that it could not find
iptables-legacy etc. 

* What was the outcome of this action?

Firehol didn't start.

* What outcome did you expect instead?

Firehol should have started after upgrade.

This is my interpretation of the problem and the solution:
iptables-legacy is found by running /usr/lib/firehol/install.config,
where it is now coded. Since my iptables package was still the old
one, because I ran the upgrade with upgrade and not dist-upgrade, no
iptables-legacy was present, just the iptables command.  When that
failed, IPTABLES_CMD was not set, and therefore, nothing could run
firehol and therefore set the iptables rules. 

My initial reaction was to change the IPTABLES_CMD, but that was the
wrong solution, I should have upgraded the iptables package too. When
I did that, things started to work again. I didn't think much about
it, but now I figured this is a problem with the Debian package. If
the Debian package had declared a version dependency to the version
where the iptables-legacy was present, this would not have happened.

Thus, it seems to me like an important bug that can be fixed in Debian
by declaring which version iptables-legacy first appeared.
