Description udo 2020-03-22 11:36:27 UTC
Description of problem:
system-config-firewall won't start

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-firewall-1.2.29-21.fc29.noarch

How reproducible, Actual results:
# /usr/bin/system-config-firewall
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/system-config-firewall", line 36, in <module>
    import fw_gui
  File "/usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_gui.py", line 47, in <module>
    import fw_dbus
  File "/usr/share/system-config-firewall/fw_dbus.py", line 24, in <module>
    import slip.dbus
ImportError: No module named slip.dbus


Expected results:
Startup of system-config-firewall, possibility to modify firewall configuration

Additional info:
As I can still file a bug against system-config-firewall, why was python2-slip-dbus >= 0.2.7 removed? Doesn't Fedora check against these inconsistencies?
So what is fedora trying to do here? 
And in other places: pending removal network-scripts, dependencies for bolt, iio-sensors-proxy, etc on components that do NOT require these interfaces/things at all. It does appear no real wisdom is going into these things.
We do not need NetworkManager, we do not need bolt, we do not need iio-sensors-proxy, we do not need flatpak, we do not need tracker, etc, etc.

Comment 1 udo 2020-04-14 15:21:05 UTC
There is a python3-slip-dbus.
Why isn't this one depended on in a new release of system-config-firewall?

Comment 2 David Beveridge 2020-04-15 03:32:25 UTC
That would require the whole system-config-firewall package to be updated from Python 2 to Python 3.
As lokkit & system-config-firewall are replaced by firewalld, this is not necessary.

Comment 3 udo 2020-04-15 04:52:49 UTC
firewalld is not a replacement. It is a different approach.
