[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#911899: update-alternative errors on upgrades

[Michael Biebl]

Package: iptables
Version: 1.8.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

todays upgrade from 1.8.1-1 → 1.8.1-2 triggered the following warnings:

Setting up iptables (1.8.1-2) ...
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/sbin/iptables-nft because link group iptables is broken
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/sbin/ip6tables-nft because link group ip6tables is broken
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/sbin/arptables-nft because link group arptables is broken
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/sbin/ebtables-nft because link group ebtables is broken


I can reproduce the same warnings by running
apt install --reinstall iptables.

Regards,
Michael
