Package: libvirt-daemonVersion: 12.0.0-1
Severity: grave

I'm not sure I know exactly what's going on here. I marked this bug as grave at 
it makes KVM completely unusable unless you don't use networking. I believe 
Debian unstable moved from iptables to nftables a while ago, which broke 
libvirt networking. I've been getting around that by using an older kernel 
(6.17.x, don't remember exactly which one) but that stopped working after I 
upgraded yesterday.

I get the following error when I try to start the default (NAT) network:
$ sudo virsh net-start default
error: Failed to start network default
error: internal error: Failed to run firewall command iptables -w --table 
filter --list-rules:

Running that command manually I get:
$ sudo iptables -w --table filter --list-rules
modprobe: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found in directory 
/lib/modules/6.18.12+deb14-rt-amd64
iptables v1.8.12 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does 
not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Again, I'm not sure exactly what's going on here. It's possible this issue was 
already reported, but I couldn't find it.
