Package: ipset
Version: 7.10-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When attempting to use a port name in ipset add, a number of them
failed with 

ipset v7.10: Syntax error: 'bootpc' is invalid as number

This seems to be because bootpc is only listed as a udp service in
/etc/services. For any service listed as tcp, or both, ipset works
as expected. Adding bootpc as a tcp service to /etc/services fixes the situation.

Ipset should attempt to lookup the name as both tcp and udp, or /etc/services
should return to listing all services as both tcp and udp..
