I put in the past those "tricks" to get the path of Gufw and it was a mess. |

Then I suppose someone should fix the release in Arch Linux (?) |

Fixes #73.
The problem and solution are also explained here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=267747, and something very similar happened in #57 as well.
To summarise, there is a polkit rule in com.ubuntu.pkexec.gufw.policy which points to
/usr/bin/gufw-pkexec.The gufw script called
gufw-pkexecwithout specifying its full path, which caused issues.#57 fixed it by replacing the call with
$(which gufw-pkexec).However, this can resolve to other paths, like
/sbin/gufw-pkexec, which is a link to/usr/bin/gufw-pkexec, so it crashes.This is why
readlink -fhas to be used to always point to the original,/usr/bin/gufw-pkexecpath.As an alternative you could just add
/usr/bin/gufw-pkexecto avoid these commands, as it is already expected that they will resolve to that.
