Re: [Shorewall-users] shorewall startp/stop works ok, but during pkg version upgrade drops network and needs network+shorewall restarts?

[<h1...@ma...>]

Nah, the problem's not how to start / stop shorewall.

The question is WHY a package upgrade causes it to choke killing off network & requiring a restart.

Just for yuck I tried it on a remote box over SSH access (I have remote access via another channel; it's a hosted VM, and you can get to a login via a console session -- no network required).

And yep.  In the middle of the shorewall package upgrade, the connection just drops.  When I checked, the network is completely "inaccessible".  No pings anywhere.  Restart networok & shorewall -- by any number of ways -- and I'm back up.

So 'something' during that package upgrade is killing more than it should.  Dunno what yet.

I'd think that a package upgrade should generally do that 'gracefully'.
