Is there any reason to believe that there actually is an issue with "wrong order"? I don't see any in the given log files, and assume this is false. Note that the log contains a warning about an ordering cycle, which might cause problems (though I don't know why they would be specific to fail2ban). That cycle is caused by setserial, which has a bad "chkconfig:" header in its init script (which Debian-specific tools probably don't parse, but which more cross-distro systemd code does). Try removing setserial and see if that has any effect. My guess is that there is some event which causes fail2ban.service to be stopped after the job has been queued but before it actually starts, but the log does not contain enough detail to tell what this might be. Try booting with "systemd.log_level=debug" on kernel command line and check the "journalctl -b" output from that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
