Fixed In Version: rhel-system-roles-1.22.0-0.13.el9
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: On RHEL7, when the firewall role is called from another role, and the role is using python3, the firewall role attempts to install the python3 firewall library for that version of python. Consequence: The python3-firewall library is not found and you get an error like "No package matching 'python3-firewall' found available, installed or updated". Fix: Do not explicitly install the python firewall library. Instead, just rely on the correct version being installed when the firewalld package is installed by the firewall role. Result: No errors running against RHEL7.

Description Rich Megginson 2023-06-21 16:32:48 UTC 
When using the firewall role from another role, the firewall role will sometimes try to install the wrong version of python firewall.  Instead, just rely on the firewalld dependency to install it.  https://github.com/linux-system-roles/firewall/pull/148
