Dear Yaroslav / maintainer,

I just tried out fail2ban on Debian jessie and discovered an issues
with the ssh-ddos filter:

```
root@www:~# tail -f /var/log/fail2ban.log

```

This issue has been fixed upstream and the patch may be worth pulling
in for the fail2ban version in Debian jessie:

https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/755

After applying that patch ssh-ddos filtering works here.

Thanks. I will look into picking up this patch into Jessie's version

Hello

I still see this error appearing on my machines. Has this bug being fixed?

Andrea

Hello,

This is a 'me too': I just installed fail2ban and got the same
message.
As there is a fix available upstream, I don't see any reason not to
apply it...
