I don't know much. I noticed the fail2ban.conf file has moved socket= /tmp/fail2ban.sock to /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock and / var/run/fail2ban/ does not exist. I tried creating /var/run/ fail2ban/, but that did not help. I am guessing a permission issue, but don't know where to start.

I did a bit more digging and made some headway, I think the following works.

1. service fail2ban stop
2. yum update
3. mkdir /var/run/fail2ban
4. service fail2ban start

Also, I think there now an error in:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/fail2ban
the line:
rm -rf /tmp/fail2ban.sock # in case of unclean shutdown
should be:
rm -rf /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock # in case of unclean shutdown

After upgrading to 0.8.2-2 I needed to manually kill the running fail2ban daemon (using the old socket in /tmp), because service failb2ban stop wouldn't stop it. After killing it I could start and stop it normally (using the new socket in /var/run/fail2ban).
