Public bug reported: I use the firewalld package to manage my firewall configuration. I just installed the libvirt-daemon set of packages (see below) and libvirtd registers this error in the journal:
libvirtd[1063]: internal error: firewalld is set to use the nftables backend, but the required firewalld 'libvirt' zone is missing. Either set the firewalld backend to 'iptables', or ensure that firewalld has a 'libvirt' zone by upgrading firewalld to a version supporting rule priorities (0.7.0+) and/or rebuilding libvirt with --with-firewalld-zone Looking at the firewalld status there is indeed no 'libvirt' zone so the problem reported is real. As I understand it, the 'iptables' firewalld backend has been deprecated a couple of years ago in favor of the 'nftables' backend, so setting the backend to a deprecated one isn't a good solution. In the libvirt package's debian/rules I see: WITH_FIREWALLD = -Dfirewalld=disabled So firewalld support is indeed disabled in Ubuntu. Could you please enable it? This is on Ubuntu 21.04.
