vrf: prevent deletion if instance referenced in PBR
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

he PBR has a rule that references a vrf, which is part of my network topology. I have noticed in the above latest vyos versions, I am able to delete the vrf completely even though the vrf is referenced in the policy based route rule.

My expectation and understanding is that, the vrf shouldn’t be allowed to deleted if it is referenced in a PBR rule.

Please let me know if I’m missing something here or is that the expected behaviour.
