Package: shorewall Version: 4.6.4.3-1 Followup-For: Bug #776680 The issue appears to be with debconf settings as dpkg-reconfigure shorewall and then /etc/init.d/shorewall restart works even dpkg-reconfigure doesn't actually do any prompts.
Perhaps it is because shorewall packaging labels the configuration as invalid when first installed because there is no valid config in the default state. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages shorewall depends on: ii bc 1.06.95-9 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.55 ii iproute 1:3.16.0-2 ii iproute2 3.16.0-2 ii iptables 1.4.21-2+b1 ii perl-modules 5.20.1-4 ii shorewall-core 4.6.4.3-1 shorewall recommends no packages.
