Hi all...
Recently a new Fail2Ban was available among some other updates for my Centos 7 system, and I just updated all. It seems that was a very BAD idea.
Just noticed that Fail2Ban have generated a 6MB error log because of the update, and FirewallD a 1MB log of errors ! (not sure if any of those were really working after this)
ok, I'll just run yum downgrade fail2ban I thought. Naa, no way back - Epel doesn't have a fallback option !
Then gotta dig into Koji, to find the old version, download it, and downgrade to that - and pew, everything is back to normal.
The old one seems to be version 0.9.7 and the new one is 0.10.4
I haven't had time to look into Fail2Bans info about these 2 version, but since there is a major version change - is it really possible to just upgrade these ?
Sure, I would love to have a working 0.10.4 for my Centos 7 - but it shouldn't destroy my existing system - or it should at least warn me about that - or what to fix.
Allan.
