To reproduce the problem (at least at the time of writing) use:

  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo apt-get -y install iptables-persistent

To solve the problem use:

sudo sed -i 's/\(modprobe -q ip6\?table_filter\)/\1 || true/g' /var/lib/dpkg/info/iptables-persistent.postinst; sudo apt-get install iptables-persistent
