Devs,

ipset was updated after a recent minor bug with save was fixed. The updated package was installed today. Restarting fails with an error code due to:

May 16 14:14:31 valkyrie ipset[62200]: ipset v7.21: Set cannot be destroyed: it is in use by a kernel component May 16 14:14:31 valkyrie systemd[1]: ipset.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

It just means that there is a reference to one of the sets.

E.g. in your running iptables / firewall Don't think this is a bug of ipset, but rather of running config. Suggest you try to shut down firewalld/iptables prior to stopping ipset
