Running

apt-get install iptables-persistent

By itself has the same result, and its quite right; iptables-persistent_1.0.11_all.deb doesn't exist at that location. (iptables-persistent_1.0.14_all.deb does, though). Is there a config problem in the repository?

Thanks

    Looks like your apt cache is not up to date. Did you run apt update before trying to install? Please update your question with relevant info.

  • Certainly did, several times. In fact the automated installation also runs it itself as you can see from the output. Dec 10, 2020 at 22:04
  • It's working today. Looks like someone had only half updated the repository yesterday. Dec 10, 2020 at 22:05
