[Jool-list] jool error: Jool's socket family doesn't seem to exist.

Fri Jan 3 06:18:47 CST 2020

OMG. It was me, all the time. I had /usr/local/bin/jool from an older
installation from source. I basically used an outdated version :-(

It perfectly works now:

[13:17] router1.place6:~# jool instance add --netfilter --pool6 2a0a:e5c0:2:10::/96
[13:18] router1.place6:~# jool instance display
+--------------------+-----------------+-----------+
|          Namespace |            Name | Framework |
+--------------------+-----------------+-----------+
| 0xffffffffb80aeb40 |         default | netfilter |
+--------------------+-----------------+-----------+

Sorry for the noise!
