File /etc/protocols not found!!!

Hello everybody!
The /etc/ directory does not contain the protocols file, which means that the ebtables utility cannot be used correctly. To fix this error, add this file (protocols) with the following content:

# Internet (IP) protocols
#
# Updated from http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers and other
# sources.
# New protocols will be added on request if they have been officially
# assigned by IANA and are not historical.
# If you need a huge list of used numbers please install the nmap package.

Re: File /etc/protocols not found!!!

The netbase package supplies /etc/protocols.

That's obsolete, use nftables instead.

Yes, nftabes is a better system. I use it myself. However be aware that from a Devuan perspective the Debian packaging is broken, some of it by design:

1) the automatic sysvinit installer script (in the deb postinst), which should set it up if systemd is missing, it's not there. Of course it wouldn't work anyway because
2) etc/init.d/nftables is not there. There is a version provided (named nftables.init), but only as an example, and it doesn't work because the LSB header run-levels are wrong. Not too difficult to fix, but does need fixing. And the execute bit is not set.
3) However nftables itself works fine without systemd.

See our discussion at https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2889

NB. this doesn't seem to be the only non-Devuanised Debian package I've wanted to use that is not non-systemd ready. Shouldn't it be a requirement?

The lack of support for alternative init systems could theoretically be reported to Debian as a bug but the maintainers are not compelled to fix it thanks to the recent GR.

nftables is very poor!

Re: File /etc/protocols not found!!!

Not sure what you are doing that's not providing the expected result.

There's nothing wrong with the netbase package.
Check the files list in synaptic: /etc/protocols is listed there.
As far as I'm aware on my PCs it came with my initial, clean, Beowulf Beta installs.

Re: File /etc/protocols not found!!!

$ dpkg -L netbase
/.
/etc
/etc/protocols
/etc/rpc
/etc/services
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/netbase
/usr/share/doc/netbase/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/netbase/copyright
$ apt-file search /etc/protocols
netbase: /etc/protocols                   
$

It's right there.

I know about package netbase.
I repeat FOR YOU again: after install netbase package file /etc/protocols not found!!!

Re: File /etc/protocols not found!!!

I do beg your pardon, re-installing the package does not replace /etc/protocols if it has been removed.

Try

apt download netbase
dpkg -x netbase*.deb .
# mv etc/protocols /etc

I've just installed a fresh Devuan beowulf system and /etc/protocols was present and correct so this is almost certainly a PEBKAC issue.
