I just spent 2 hours figuring out what went wrong with my automatic upgrade.

My router just completely stopped working at midnight local time.

I noticed the Debian 12 upgrade and purged the iptables bits based on the earlier response, but nothing seemed to work.

Packets were no longer being forwarded.

Thanks to a Fedora bugzilla report, I finally have my router working again.

Hopefully, others will find this helpful.

How did this get missed?
