Public bug reported:
/usr/share/netfilter-persistent/plugins.d/15-ip4tables contains two
lines of interest:
set -e
/sbin/modprobe -q iptable_filter
modprobe failure causes entire script to exit with 1 status immediately.
Processes run inside of containers (such as LXC and LXD) can't really
load modules, and kernel modules usually aren't even installed anyway:
root@t1:~# /sbin/modprobe iptable_filter
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open
moddep file '/lib/modules/4.15.0-46-generic/modules.dep.bin'
modprobe: FATAL: Module iptable_filter not found in directory
/lib/modules/4.15.0-46-generic
However, iptables will generally work inside containers, provided that
the required modules were loaded outside the container.
So instead of failing, I think modprobe errors should be just ignored
(|| true).
This seems to be the same bug as #1002078, which apparently got
reintroduced during code rewrite.
