            Bug ID: 296577
           Summary: pfctl cannot replace an existing table in the non
                    anchor case
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

After upgrading from FreeBSD 14.4-RELEASE-p7 to 15.1-RELEASE-p1 I no longer can
replace table contents in my pf config.  pfctl says the anchor does not exist. 
Well I'm not using any anchors:

16>sudo pfctl -T replace -t ipdb -f /etc/pf.country.txt       
Password:
pfctl: Anchor does not exist.

The file loads correct at boot time, but having to reboot the machine every
time I want to update my block lists is a bit extreme.
