Hi Ross, 0.7.x branch of fail2ban actually can't use 2.3 thus there is no any dependency I am aware of:
*$> grep -r '2\.3' * debian/patches/X00_rigid_python24.dpatch:## DP: Due to currently default python2.3 we need to hardcode use of python2.4 debian/changelog: - restricted depends on python >= 2.3 debian/README.Debian:logger -p auth.warning -t 'sshd[123]' 'Illegal user user1 from 1.2.3.4' Thus I would deduce that that it is an issue of python-central of some kind, and at least this is that is who is complaining: # pycentral pkginstall fail2ban INFO: using old version '/usr/bin/python2.3' INFO: using unsupported version '/usr/bin/python2.5' According to strace of it, the only fail2ban file which is opened is /var/lib/dpkg/info/fail2ban.list, which has not versioning information at all. So, my guess, would be that this is safe messages produced by pycentral to some unknown cause. I would like to close this bug or to reassign to python-central and retitle as "INFO: noise scares users" or smth like that.
