Setting up iptables-persistent (0.5.3ubuntu2) ...
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.38.2-grsec-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64/modules.dep: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing iptables-persistent (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
iptables-persistent
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)I searched and found that this is apparently due to the fact that my server provider (OHV) provides a monolithic kernel: modules cannot be loaded.
While I could install my own kernel, the error message given above could be improved, or the kernel dependency could be better diagnosed by apt-get and the iptables-persistent package.
