Description Marc Schiffbauer gentoo-dev

incus uses `nft --json` to run nft commands which is why it fails to succeed detecting nftables on a system if json support is not compiled in (USE=json)

So it requires a dependency on nftables[json] to work.

But looking at the incus code, it only uses the --json option when detecting nftables but not when actually using it.

I asked the maintainer about it in the mentioned URL

I'll monitor the discussion forum for a bit before adding the dependency. If it's taken out in the next upstream release, that should be good.
