I just did a ‘dnf update’ on f39 and now fail2ban, which was working before the update, is unable to start. I rebooted the system after the update.
fail2ban-1.0.2-13.fc39.noarch, fail2ban-server-1.0.2-13.fc39.noarch, fail2ban-sendmail-1.0.2-13.fc39.noarch, fail2ban-firewalld-1.0.2-13.fc39.noarch, fail2ban-selinux-1.0.2-13.fc39.noarch were all installed in the update.
