EPEL fail2ban doesn't work on CentOS 5 after upgrading

[Bussi Andrea]

There's already an open bug on bugzilla:

   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1130706

And a reported issue for upstream:

   https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/788

Sorry for the noise,
                                 Bussi Andrea
