I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong, but in order to allow people to
troubleshoot this problem you could collect an strace of the application
when it's launching.  Something like this would do:

  # strace -fro /tmp/network-admin.strace network-admin


You can then send the "/tmp/network-admin.strace" file to the list for
perusal.
