I have upgraded from Precise to Quantal yesterday and ufw doesn't work. I have compiled my own kernel without IPv6 and the IPv6 netfilter modules, my kernel is running with ipv6.disable=1, ufw config has IPV6=no and so on (i don't need and want IPv6 now). ufw complained with:

root@host:~# ufw enable
ERROR: initcaps
[Errno 2] FATAL: Module ip6_tables not found.
ip6tables v1.4.12: can't initialize ip6tables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps ip6tables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

I have found (in the web, changelogs...) nothing(!), that IPv6 with ufw 0.33 is mandatory now. But i think it is a bug in the /lib/ufw/ufw-init scripts, because i simply copied the old scripts vom the Precise ufw package and all works fine - no more errors, complains.
