[Solved] firewalld won't start

When booting the computer this morning, I had issues with firewalld that won't start anymore, and with the Desktop manager I normally use (cinnamon) such as there were no control buttons on the screen. The only thing that has changed was the installation of the python-qutip package, performed one day before.

Both

firewall-config

and

sudo systemctl restart firewalld 

                                                         

complain about the fact that

Job for firewalld.service failed because the control process exited with error code. 

Then

  journalctl -xeu firewalld.service  

Returns

Re: [Solved] firewalld won't start

After upgrading to the 6.16.8-zen3-1-zen kernel and a system reboot, it seems that everything is all right. Firewalld has started, without any error message.
