Hello,

FYI, the Red Hat/Fedora lists discuss removing the dependency between
the "iptables" and "iptables-services" RPM packages.

This will affect shorewall and shorewall6.

Please see bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1327786
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1424954

Best regards,
Răzvan

It will not affect upstream Shorewall and Shorewall6 -- it will only
affect Red Hat/Fedora packaging.

Thanks,

Actually, it doesn't affect those either, because shorewall doesn't
need/use iptables-services.

The REL7 EPEL shorewall.spec file still has Shorewall6 and
Shorewall6-lite requiring iptables-ipv6. I've suggested that R?zvan
file a bug report against those packages.
