Description Thierry ANIEL 2013-05-19 15:56:00 CEST

Description of problem:

shorewall6 service launch at startup fails
as a consequence, management of firewall through mageia control center is not
efficient.

This can be fixed as follow :

1/ uninstall shorewall-ipv6
2/ try to edit your firewall configuration
3/ mageia control center complains that you must install shorewall-ipv6
4/ accept to install it
5/ all works now


Reproducible:

I can confirm that the user must repeat the process of removing shorewall-ipv6 before every use of drakfirewall. I have found that a more permanent solution is
to uninstall shorewall-ipv6 and then add it to the RPMDB

rpm -ivh --justdb /media/mga3_64/x86_64/media/core/shorewall-ipv6-4.5.10.1-4.mga3.noarch.rpm

drakfirewall, will still ask you to allow the install of "shorewall-ipv6" after the user confirms which ports they want to configure, but it seems that the install does not actually happen, as the entry is found in the RPMDB by the RPM installation routine.

It's a bit messy, but at least you are able to use drakfirewall without any intermediate steps.
