Package: iptables Version: 1.8.11-2 Severity: normalDear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I have a homebrewed "fail2ban" type script that keeps a table of hosts to ban and regularly cleans it out with a command like: /sbin/iptables -w -n -v -L -Z bad-guys * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I tried running the command and got the error: iptables v1.8.11 (nf_tables): Illegal option `--numeric' with this command Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. * What was the outcome of this action? The counters were not zeroed and no output was produced. * What outcome did you expect instead? That the counters be zeroed and the listing of the table (with the counters before zeroing) be printed without adresss resolution. This is a regression from 1.8.9-2 where the command does what I want: # /sbin/iptables -w -n -v -L -Z bad-guys Chain bad-guys (1 references) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination 6 360 DROP 0 -- * * 193.221.16.92 0.0.0.0/0 0 0 DROP 0 -- * * 185.180.141.47 0.0.0.0/0 Zeroing chain `bad-guys'
Confirmed. I will report this upstream & get it fixed. J.
