I attempted to install firewalld and firewall-config with ufw installed
- perhaps not the wisest of moves - but, `apt install firewalld
firewall-config` ran anyway, and then hung, together with the whole
system and nil ssh access.
I'm now thrashing about in a rescue image with the system mounted on /mnt :
```
[RESCUE] root@vps-2493e43e:~ $ apt -o Dir=/mnt list firewalld
firewall-config
Listing... Done
firewall-config/stable,now 0.9.3-2 all [installed]
firewalld/stable,now 0.9.3-2 all [installed]
[RESCUE] root@vps-2493e43e:~ $ apt -o Dir=/mnt purge firewalld
firewall-config
...
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove firewall-config which isn't
installed
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove firewalld which isn't installed

Attempts at correction have included:
rm /mnt/var/cache/apt/*pkgcache.bin
apt-cache -o Dir=/mnt gencaches
dpkg --root=/mnt --update-avail
dpkg --root=/mnt --configure -a
After a number of iterations of these instructions:

firewalld and its dependencies seem to be where they should be:
