Description nvaert1986 2024-05-23 07:46:16 UTC

If you emerge, enable and try to start net-firewall/ufw without the option: CONFIG_IP6_NF_MATCH_RT set in the kernel, it will generate an error during boot and not start. This is not explicitly defined in the portage package, so portage will proceed without a warning if this option is not enabled.

Note: This was tested on systemd.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Emerge net-firewall/ufw with a kernel not compiled with CONFIG_IP6_NF_MATCH_RT
2.Enable net-firewall/ufw at boot
3.Reboot the machine
Actual Results:  
A service that fails to start.

Expected Results:  
A service that should've started.
