Hi,

It seems the file /etc/logrotate.d/fail2ban gets left behind after removing fail2ban.
This causes cron to generate errors as fail2ban-client does not exist.


Regards

Wouter

That the file is left behind by a remove is not a bug in itself, because
only a purge would delete it. But the logrotate configuration is missing
this check in the postrotate section:

test -x /usr/bin/fail2ban-client || exit 0
