FAIL2BAN .... Broken by recent update [SOLVED]

Mods,

I think this should also be posted in " Announcements, Package & Security Advisories" section .... I can't post there.

A recent update broke fail2ban. I installed the "community-testing" version and fail2ban is back up and running on my system.

see:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132153

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22926?p … g=fail2ban

download current testing version: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/commu … /download/

I'm not sure if cherrypicking packages from [testing] or [community-testing] is acceptable, maybe a downgrade would be better.

The daemon won't start since it is missing the /var/run/fail2ban dir.

My solution:

[root@archlin log]# /usr/bin/fail2ban-server -f
