[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#802492: firewall-config: setting default iptables filter without asking the user if it should do so

[Max Görner]

Package: firewalld
Version: 2.2.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #802492

Dear Maintainer,

I wanted to provide an additional aspect on this ticket.

I recently reinstalled Debian Testing with KDE. Due to KDE firewalld was
installed too.

Unfortunately, firewalld blocks mDNS ports by default. Due to this, my
system was unable to find a network printer. It took me quite long to
figure that out. The StackOverflow question I opened for it is [1], but
I think the information here are sufficient already.

On Kubuntu (24.04 live image and some not to recent installation) mDNS
is not blocked and the network printer was detected easily.

I would appreciate if you could reconsider this rule.

Best
