How reproducible: Happened after the update of the system, before that the application worked correctly, also i've seen this error during update

Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package glibc-2.14-3.x86_64
/usr/sbin/glibc_post_upgrade: While trying to execute /sbin/service child exited with exit code 1

Comment 1 Tom Tromey 2011-06-25 18:27:27 UTC
I see this too on my full updated F15 install.
It worked sometime in the last week or so, so I think some
recent update broke it.
A workaround is to use system-config-firewall-tui

Comment 2 anon 2011-06-26 12:23:43 UTC
Thank you for the quick response, i'll try the workaround.

Comment 3 anon 2011-06-26 13:28:37 UTC
I've managed to open system-config-firewall by installing beesu and editing
/usr/share/applications/system-config-firewall.desktop and replacing the path with:

Exec=beesu /usr/bin/system-config-firewall
works every time i start it, ill stick with that until a fix is released :)
