Package: fail2ban
Version: 0.6.1-3
Severity: normal
When a more-or-less unconfigured fail2ban installation is started on this
system, it fails to set up its rules, while
putting this in its log:

Apparently fail2ban wants to know every locale out thereÃ, before trying
anything with it?
This bug is somewhat related to #363391, as the remedy is somewhat similar:
# killall fail2ban
# LANG=en_US fail2ban
