Raspian Buster iptables - missing something / files from install? iptables -A fails
by marawuti from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57MG2)
I'm running Raspbian Buster and when I attempt:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp -dport 631 -j ACCEPT
I get:
iptables v1.8.2 (nf_tables): Couldn't load match `tcp':No such file or directory
I've reinstalled (via synaptic) the following:
iptables1.8.2-4
iptables-persistant 1.0.11
libip4tc01.8.2-4
libip6tc01.8.2-4
libiptc01.8.2-4
I suspect some install trigger failed and didn't create some file but I'm too ignorant to locate what is missing.
I found a vague reference to moving to nftables but Raspbian Buster does not seem to have gone that way. Probably wrong.
