Apologies, this is slightly off-topic being to do with an EPEL package, although it's running on CentOS6, so I thought others here might have come across this issue. I have five CentOS 6 systems running fail2ban from EPEL, and this package was updated in the last week from 0.9.2-1.el6 to 0.9.3-1.el6. On all these systems, I received an error from logrotate this morning. It appears that something has broken the flushlogs option in fail2ban-client: [root at system ~]# cat /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban # # Gentoo: # http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-analyzer/fail2ban/files/fail2ban-logrotate?view=markup # # Debian: # https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/debian/debian/fail2ban.logrotate # # Fedora view: # http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/fail2ban.git/tree/fail2ban-logrotate /var/log/fail2ban.log { rotate 7 missingok compress postrotate /usr/bin/fail2ban-client flushlogs 1>/dev/null || true endscript } [root at system ~]# /usr/bin/fail2ban-client flushlogs logs: rolled over Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/fail2ban-client", line 470, in <module> if client.start(sys.argv): File "/usr/bin/fail2ban-client", line 440, in start return self.__processCommand(args) File "/usr/bin/fail2ban-client", line 281, in __processCommand return self.__processCmd([cmd]) File "/usr/bin/fail2ban-client", line 185, in __processCmd client.close() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/fail2ban/client/csocket.py", line 55, in close self.__csock.sendall(CSPROTO.CLOSE + CSPROTO.END) File "<string>", line 1, in sendall socket.error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe [root at system ~]# Has anyone else found this today? And even better know how to fix it? There doesn't seem to be any current activity in epel-users, and I found the update announcement in epel-package-announce, but didn't see anything about this in the "IMPORTANT incompatible changes" section.
