The fail2ban-server RPM requires both Python 2 and Python 3. Except in very special circumstances, there is no need for one package to drag in both Python stacks. Usually, this is a packaging error: for example, a stray "/usr/bin/python" shebang in a Python 3 package can introduce a Python 2 dependency. Here's grep for the shebang in the sources: bin/fail2ban-client:#!/usr/bin/python bin/fail2ban-regex:#!/usr/bin/python bin/fail2ban-server:#!/usr/bin/python bin/fail2ban-testcases:#!/usr/bin/python config/filter.d/ignorecommands/apache-fakegooglebot:#!/usr/bin/python fail2ban/client/fail2banregex.py:#!/usr/bin/python fail2ban/tests/files/config/apache-auth/digest.py:#!/usr/bin/python fail2ban/tests/files/ignorecommand.py:#!/usr/bin/python Please remove or replace the shebangs. It's ok to do this in Rawhide only, however, it would be greatly appreciated if you could push it to Fedora 24 as well. If anything is unclear, or if you need any kind of assistance, you can ask on IRC (#fedora-python on Freenode), or reply here. We'll be happy to help investigating or fixing this issue!
