--- Begin Message ---Package: connman Version: 1.36-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I was trying to enable wifi tethering. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Enable wifi tethering with: connmanctl tether wifi on ssid password * What was the outcome of this action? Wifi tethering was enabled but the other device doesn't get an IP address. * What outcome did you expect instead? Getting a full functional wifi hotspot. I checked and found that connman is using the old iptables and since Debian Buster switched to nftables by default wifi tether doesn't work anymore. You can check with iptables-legacy that connman is using the old nat chain. You will also receive a warnig while using "iptables" that iptables-legacy rules are set. I could fix the issue by downloading the debian source and adding: "--with-firewall=nftable" to dh_auto_configure in debian/rules. Also libnftnl-dev, libmnl-dev need to be added to the Build-Depends in debian/control. Of course connman won't work with the old iptables-legacy then but since nftables is the default now in Buster it should work out of the box in my opinion.

Isn't that easy - need a careful review, introduction of some packages and will be done maybe with the next upload to NEW.
