Details

Steps to reproduce:
I have followed the wiki, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Uncomplicated_Firewall

- enabled ufw.service
- call ufw enable

But after a restart, "uwf enable" indicates that uwf is inactive. I put some quick log, and I can see that /usr/lib/ufw/ufw-init start is called by systemd during the startup process. But iptable rules are not created.
I suspect this is problem similar to the one described here
https://devtidbits.com/2019/07/31/ufw-service-not-loading-after-a-reboot/

I only discovered the problem because I decided to test ufw status after a reboot. I assume that many people are running into the same issue unknowingly, and think they have a working firewall when they actually don't.
This task depends upon

Works fine here in a fresh VM. There are no other reports about this. You'll need to debug where it's going wrong on your system. For support, please use the proper support channels (forum/IRC/etc) to see if anyone can help spot the issue.
