[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#975028: ebtables -E (rename) gives error

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Package: iptables
Version: 1.8.6-1

Hi,
I found an issue in iptables as it is in Debian (and recent Ubuntu
releases) [1].
After debugging it turned out to be a real issue [2] confirmed by upstream.
As a symptom I have libvirt that fails to apply netfilter rules, but I
assume many
more use cases could be broken by it.

In the meantime there is a fix [3] for it available.
I asked if they'd release a new version soon so that you'd pick it up
automatically,
but it sees not [4] to be the case.

Therefore I wanted to file this bug for your awareness and help to
identify and pick up this fix soon'ish.
