openSUSE firewall – YaST cannot continue the configuration

When you want to configure the firewall on openSUSE you can just type yast into the terminal.

Select Security and Users and from options select Firewall.

On fresh installation of openSUSE you might encounter following error:

Error
YaST cannot continue the configuration
without installing the required packages.

The fix is simple, just install yast2-firewall:

sudo zypper install yast2-firewall

Now you can start YaST and the firewall configuration will work.
