Public bug reported: I have a working keepalived setup with v1.2.19 on Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS. After the keepalived upgrade to v1.2.24 it no longer working for me. I only use VRRP to create virtual IP address between two servers.
In syslog I can find: Aug 15 13:19:36 black systemd[1]: Starting Keepalive Daemon (LVS and VRRP)...

[...] First thought it has sth to do with "Unable to load ipset library" so I installed upset 6.29-1 including dependencies.
