Bug#994127: libvirt-daemon: Error creating virtual network - iptables (nf_tables) table `nat' is incompatible, use 'nft'

[Laurent Baillet]

Hello

I was faced to the same problem after a Buster to Bullseye upgrade. The
same commands as you returned the same results.

After a week of unsuccessful attempts, I have been able to get my VM back
and apparently without regression by removing

   - all my *qemu* *libvirt* *iptables* *nftables* named packages
   - my DHCP client packages
   - my orphaned packages (several runs)

After that, I reinstalled them, nftables after all the other ones.

If it can help someone...

Regards

* License : GPL-1+ or Artistic
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : Automatic Text Categorization

AI::Categorizer is a framework for automatic text categorization.
It consists of a collection of Perl modules that implement common
categorization tasks, and a set of defined relationships among 
those modules. The various details are flexible - for example, 
you can choose what categorization algorithm to use, what 
features (words or otherwise) of the documents should be used 
(or how to automatically choose these features), what format the 
documents are in, and so on.

The basic process of using this module will typically involve 
obtaining a collection of pre-categorized documents, creating a 
"knowledge set" representation of those documents, training a 
categorizer on that knowledge set, and saving the trained 
categorizer for later use. There are several ways to carry out 
this process. The top-level AI::Categorizer module provides an 
umbrella class for high-level operations, or you may use the 
interfaces of the individual classes in the framework.

I will package it within the Debian Perl Team.

Hello Dominique and all others,

Sure, there is no problem for me to maintain it within Debian Perl Team if
it can help

So here I am, billou57-guest on Alioth. I am french, 42 years old. I use
Debian since
Slink and Perl daily since something like 20 years :-) I have rather good
knowledge
of both. My main usage of Perl is to handle various format of rich text
news. I think I
can help  the team but I sure have to learn how the Team works.


Business::ISIN for which I opened an ITP last week is an old module that I
use in
order to validate ISIN according to ISO 3166 (or ISO 6166) which is a
classification
of financial instruments. I've been using it since it's been released and
it still works
perfectly, being used professionally for a big financial french website. I
don't know
how useful one can consider it, but it is a nice piece of code so useful
for me
(again, thanks David !)

Regards
