Thanks for letting me know. I took a quick look and it seems that
synproxy selftest is also failing:

    2022-10-12T03:14:20.2007627Z test_synproxy:FAIL:iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING      -i tmp1 -p tcp -m tcp --syn --dport 8080 -j CT --notrack unexpected error: 1024 (errno 2)

Googling the "Could not fetch rule set generation id" yields a lot of
hits. Most of the links are from downstream projects recommending user
downgrade iptables (nftables) to iptables-legacy.

So perhaps iptables/nftables suffered a regression somewhere. I'll take
a closer look tonight / tomorrow morning.

Thanks,
Daniel
