I installed few days ago Debian Jessie (Linux server-1 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3 (2015-08-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux) for some tests.
I tried to install iptables-persistent with the command "apt-get install iptables-persistent".
During the install process, I got the following message :
Code: Select all

Some talks about cups, acpid, ipv6 or systemd but nothing has solved the issue in my case.
I used iptables-persistent many times with older debian versions. I've never had this kind of issue.
Does anyone have faced to this issue and have an idea about the reason ?
Is there a compatibility issue with Jessie ?
Just for information, the server used for my test is a VPS from OVH.
Thank you in advance for your help
