Nftables service disabled on upgrade to Fedora 43

Problem

On upgrade to Fedora 43, nftables.service may be disabled if it was previously enabled.

Cause

We believe this happens because the service file was split into a separate package (nftables-services), which causes systemd to treat it as a ‘new’ service and reset it to its preset state (which is disabled).

Workarounds

Just re-enable the service: sudo systemctl enable nftables.service
