I'm on the same page. Maybe we should leave the package in -update as is and go with the flock() alternative.
OR .... evaluate if, let's say, the Focal's iptables could be backported (if feasible) in bionic-backports. That way, one who wants the 'wait' and 'wait-interval' to be available could rely on -backport, while the rest of our Bionic users could remain on the same old iptables behavior provided in -updates. - Eric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to iptables in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791958 Title: iptables-restore is missing -w option Status in iptables package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: For CRIU we need to have iptables version 1.6.2 which includes the '-w' option in iptables-restore. This is a request to update iptables to 1.6.2 in 18.10 and if possible backport the necessary changes to 18.04. The CRIU project gets right now many bug reports (mostly in the combination LXD + CRIU) due to the missing '-w' option in iptables- restore. Especially as 18.04 will be around for some time it would be good to have iptables-restore available with '-w'. This is one example bug report: https://github.com/checkpoint- restore/criu/issues/551 But not only CRIU would benefit from this change. It seems also problematic with Kubernetes: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60978 So if possible, please update iptables to 1.6.2 (or backport changes) to support -w in iptables-restore.
