iptables-nft and iptables are in conflict

Hi,

i'm trying to install libvirt & qemu/kvm, following the wiki.

i'm pretty sure this is not supposed to remove iptables, so maybe i'm doing something wrong ?

:: iptables-nft and iptables are in conflict. Remove iptables? [y/N]

Re: iptables-nft and iptables are in conflict

First off, don't do partial updates. -Sy is a terrible idea.

Anyway, yes, the two things conflict; that's normal and expected. They're different versions of the same thing. If you want iptables-nft, you need to remove the old one.
