1) Install fail2ban in UBUNTU 14.04.3 LTS
2) Edit several files manually at least one in filter.d or action.d or jail.d
3) Update Ubuntu to 16.04 LTS
4) Try to start fail2ban
Expected: success
Actual: failed
If I have edited my local information in fail2ban, several files, I get two
files in the directory, example
fail2ban.conf and fail2ban.conf.dpkg-dist. The problem with fail2ban is that it
reads all files in its subdirectory including the erroneous file
/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/sshd.conf-dpkg.dist [with missing "[definitions]" area
and fail2ban fails to start. The directoris /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/ and
/etc/fail2ban/actions.d and /etc/fail2ban/jail.d should not have any files
ending with dpkg.dist. Removing the files sshd.conf.dpkg-dist makes fail2ban
run ok.
