Joey, This bug has been an issue for far too long. I believe it should be fixed for fresh installs of 2.6-10, but is broken for people that have upgraded from prior versions. Please clear out the data in /var/lib/denyhosts/sync-timestamp and confirm that this resolves the issue for you.
Assuming this fixes the issue, I will be adding a snippet to the maintainer scripts to handle this automatically for upgrades. Thanks - Kyle Willmon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
