Seems like this is not the only thing missing. nftables is still depending on libxtables11. if I try to apt remove libxtables11 after running the dpkg command above, I get: The following packages will be REMOVED: libxtables11 nftables so the upgrade to libxtables12 would be breaking nftables with the correct dependency to break libxtables11
