When fail2ban is installed without a logger being present (an odd scenario, I admit), the service fails to start with a dependency error, unable to find the `logger' service. fail2ban fails to start with the following output: # rc-service fail2ban start * Caching service dependencies ... Service `fail2ban' needs non existent service `logger' [ ok ] * ERROR: fail2ban needs service(s) logger The obvious workaround is to install a logger, which should probably be installed anyway, but this is still a minor dependency issue. Reproducible: Always
