Package: iptables
Version: 1.2.11-2
Severity: normal
We read:
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of the iptables
package, you may still have the deprecated init.d scripts and
state information installed, but orphaned from the package.
This was necessary to preserve existing configurations. Run
"update-rc.d -f iptables remove" and delete this list of files
and directories to get rid of it all:
/etc/default/iptables
/etc/init.d/iptables
/var/lib/iptables/
/var/lib/ip6tables/
Well you should at least warn the user to do this if those are still
found upon any upgrade. Make him hit an OK confirm box.
I'm certain someone will file a bug report about the orphaned
files, but it was done intentionally. Suggestions for a better
approach are welcomed.
BTW,
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/iptables/': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/ip6tables/': No such file or directory
