Description William H. Haller 2013-01-06 21:38:28 UTC
Description of problem: Latest release fails to start


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):fail2ban-0.8.8-1.fc17.noarch


How reproducible:always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.fail2ban-client start
2.
3.
  
Actual results:Fails to start. Cannot load module common.version


Expected results:fail2ban starts


Additional info:At some point a test was added to only add the module path if fail2ban appears to be running from /usr. Now that /bin and /usr/bin are joined, the executable appears to be running in /bin rather than /usr/bin so fails to insert the /usr/share/fail2ban directory as a place to look for modules. Commenting out the test in fail2ban-server and fail2ban-client and adjusting the spacing fixes the problem.
