This error is because the iptables module wasn't loaded by the time iptables-persistent was started.

The test is slightly misleading; it's actually there to check iptables/ip6tables itself has loaded, and the tables module is there by default (at least in my testing - if that's not the case on your machine, please say so). -- Jonathan Wiltshire [email protected] Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
