Description Michael Katzmann 2025-10-09 01:14:58 UTC 
The file /usr/lib/systemd/system/fail2ban.service in F43 beta has bad paths that seem to relate to a build for ARM architecture.

eg: on the x86_64 build the ExecStart line is as follows:

ExecStart=build/bdist.linux-aarch64/wheel/fail2ban-1.1.0.data/scripts/fail2ban-server -xf --logtarget=sysout start

This should be:

ExecStart=/usr/bin/fail2ban-server -xf --logtarget=sysout start

As such, the service does not start.
ExecStop and  ExecReload are similarly incorrect.


Reproducible: Always
