Hi, I hit this old bug while doing some clearance.
Xenial reached EOSS (End of Standard Support) so I'm afraid it can't be fixed. It is unfortunate that we were unable to resolve this defect, however, there appears to be no further action possible at this time because it's not a security bug. For Bionic the bug is still present. I took a look at the different commits between Focal's version (bug fixed) and Bionic's one here [1] but, at first glance, there is no isolated commit for the fix, so a deeper investigation has to be made to estimate how many changes it would imply without getting too close to the whole next fixed release. https://git.netfilter.org/ebtables/log/?h=ebtables-2.0.11&showmsg=1 ** Changed in: ebtables (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
