Package: nftables
Version: 0.4-2
Severity: serious
Dear Maintainer,
The init script shipped with the package fails with this error:
/etc/nftables.conf:3:1-14: Error: Could not process rule: Address family not
supported by protocol
flush ruleset
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The reason is that “flush ruleset” requires kernel version 3.18 or later,
as hinted in the release notes for nftables 0.4, while Debian ships 3.16.
http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-announce/2014/000211.html
Maybe this particular feature could be backported to 3.16?
Regards,
Peter

Yes, that's why in the package description 3.18 is recommended.
And that's why this package is not in Jessie, but in Debian Sid (still
in development).
Please, Would you like to run 3.18 from Debian experimental (you can
install just the kernel from experimental) and report any issue you
may find?
That would be appreciated.
I'm closing the bug now, which I believe is not a serious bug actually.
Thanks, best regards.
