Hi
importing iptables alone with no deps, I see that neither iptables nor libxtables11 tce.installed are being created.

I am on dCore-xenial and have imported connman with the repos you listed above. 

If I issue "pgrep connmand" get a pid for it with no other action.

Code: [Select]

jason@box:~$ pgrep connmand
3570
jason@box:~$

And if as a user I try "connmand -n" I get the following though it is running:

Code: [Select]

jason@box:~$ connmand -n
Connection ":1.4" is not allowed to own the service "net.connman" due to security policies in the configuration file
jason@box:~$

As for a startup script in /usr/local/tce.installed, if a package has no postinst file  in it's control.tar.gz, it does not creat a /usr/local/postinst or /usr/local/tce.installed entry, such is the case with iptables.

Hi
connmand needs to be launched with sudo, but since it's autostarted, first kill it.

PS. Sorry for not being aware, or forgot about the tce.installed policy after so many years.

After installing netfilter-4.2.9-tinycore on dCore-xenial and killing connmand first then running with root the error changed a git.

If you don't have that package installed, install it and please test.

Thanks.

Hi
connman on xenial works using the ppa written on the extra repositories section of the forum
