<pre>Hi,
I am using ip6tables-restore v1.6.0 (ubuntu 16.04 pkg from official repos).
When generating an IPv6 firewall with an option not supported by IPv6
ip6tables-restore gives this error: (line 76 is the last line in the file with
the COMMIT statement):
ip6tables-restore: line 76 failed
After debugging the rules manually I found the issue:
ip6tables -A DROP_BROADCAST_AND_MCAST --match state --state NEW --match
addrtype --dst-type BROADCAST --jump DROP
ip6tables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information.
Running dmesg gives me:
[636716.526815] xt_addrtype: ipv6 does not support BROADCAST matching
If ip6tables-restore could pass the error from ip6tables that would be useful.
I have not tested if this happens with iptables-restore</pre>
