Hi, all!

I have a very odd conundrum. I've recently updated a test server to Ubuntu Eoan 
(19.10). That server
runs both docker containers and libvirt VMs. Everything was running smoothly in 
19.04 (which is now
unsupported). However, upon upgrade and full update to 19.10 shorewall now 
refuses to start cleanly
on bootup. The error is:

Running /sbin/iptables-restore --wait 60...iptables-restore v1.8.3 (legacy): 
Couldn't load target
`LIBVIRT_PRT':No such file or directory
Error occurred at line: 19Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore 
--help' for more
information.   ERROR: /sbin/iptables-restore --wait 60 Failed.
Turns out that doing a "shorewall restart" fails as well with the same error. 
Seems like a pretty
obvious error, doesn't it? Well...not so fast! ☺

If I do two "shorewall debug restart" (note the use of *debug*) in quick 
succession, the first
invocation will fail with the error, but the second one will succeed fully, and 
Shorewall will
(apparently) operate properly from there on in. Perhaps the use of "debug" 
causes stored bad state
somewhere to be wiped clean or ignored?

On next bootup everything is broken again and I have to log in to manually fix 
things by running
"shorewall debug start" TWICE.

Naturally, this isn't a tenable situation. Here's the output (for restart) so 
you can see for
yourselves:

I read somewhere that at some point shorewall needed to be re-started after 
libvirtd had started up,
but in my setup shorewall always starts AFTER libvirtd (configured as such via 
systemd After=
directive). Is there anything else I'm missing?

I tried "shorewall restart -c" to try to force a from-scratch recompilation of 
all rules, but that
didn't work either.

Thanks!
