It looks like the install is messed up and some of the configuration files are missing. You might be able to get it to continue if you do

touch /etc/default/shorewall 

but more likely you'll need to reinstall the package to get the missing configuration back, then purge it. To reinstall it you'll need to do

apt-get install --reinstall shorewall
