Description Ákos Szőts 2024-07-01 08:06:48 UTC

When I try to restart firewalld.service it fails because of the following error message:

Failed to restart firewalld.service: Transaction contains conflicting jobs 'restart' and 'stop' for fail2ban.service. Probably contradicting requirement dependencies configured.
See system logs and 'systemctl status firewalld.service' for details.

firewalld.service is depending on fail2ban.service but not the other way around (however you see it mentioned only in the fail2ban.service file):

$> systemctl list-dependencies firewalld.service | grep fail2ban
● ├─fail2ban.service
$> systemctl list-dependencies fail2ban.service | grep firewalld

OS: openSUSE Leap 15.6

Also, you need both to be enabled:


systemctl enable --now fail2ban.service
systemctl enable --now firewalld.service
systemctl restart firewalld.service
