Package: arptables Version: 0.0.4+snapshot20181021-1 Severity: serious Hi! I'm afraid that the new prerm fails badly when there's no iptables, preventing the package from getting removed:
Removing arptables (0.0.4+snapshot20181021-1) ... dpkg-query: no packages found matching iptables dpkg: error processing package arptables (--purge): installed arptables package pre-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: arptables Once iptables have been installed, they're now known to dpkg, even after subsequent purging. In such case, arptables removes successfully.
