Hi Arkadiusz,

Thanks for report this issue.

The expected behaviour is to use the corresponding arptables-save and arptables-restore binaries to the arptables binary selected with the Debian alternatives system. This package provides arptables-legacy-* while arptables-nft-* are provided by the iptables package.

Both arptables-legacy-save and arptables-legacy-restore are linked (defined as "slaves") to arptables when arptables-legacy is selected as alternative to provide arptables, so the symlink points to the corresponding arptables-* binary as expected.

Perhaps it would be better to use arptables-legacy instead of full path to arptables in my $tool, but I didn't find them unusuble in the test I've made. Can you provide more info about the issue?

Regards,

Alberto
