On Gentoo, you can use slotted packages. I don't know about Ubuntu - I don't use it. In any case, I guess you can run "dpkg-query -L shorewall" to get a full list of the installed 5.0 files, back them up with all your custom config files. I'd create and run in the background an auto-reverting script while doing the upgrade to 5.1 from a remote location. If all goes well, kill the script once you ssh into the firewall again. If it fails, just wait until the script removes 5.1, restores the backed-up files, and restarts shorewall 5.0. Before doing so, make sure you also handle dependencies that may be pulled in, or not. Just a thought. Good luck.
