The problem is that on WSL, it appears creating a raw socket is failing:
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, PF_INET);
if (sockfd < 0) {
ebt_print_error("Problem getting a socket, "
"you probably don't have the right "
"permissions");
ret = -1;
That failure isn't going to happen on any 'actual' Linux system
(baremetal, vm, or container) - unless you don't have permissions, as
the error says. When upgrading a package using apt/dpkg on 'actual'
Linux, you will have root access, and so will have permission to create
a raw socket. So this is strictly a WSL problem.
Also, this is not a regression - the ebtables init script has behaved
this way since trusty (and before). Since the ebtables project is
essentially dead upstream, the package is very rarely updated and so WSL
users simply haven't noticed this before because they haven't upgraded
ebtables before.
However, as it's a trivial fix to the ebtables init script, and presumably a
difficult fix to WSL, please test with the package from this ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~ddstreet/+archive/ubuntu/lp1774120
I think that should fix the problem for you - it will still print out a
failure/warning message, but it should not break apt package upgrade.
Note that I can't test this myself since I have no access to WSL.
