apt-get remove iptables
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
fail2ban ipset iptables shorewall webmin-shorewall
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 3174kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
It appears that if I do remove the iptables package, I will have to install a
dummy iptables package if I want to keep fail2ban and shorewall.
