Package: fail2ban Version: 1.1.0-8 Severity: normal
Hey. IIRC, that recommends (which should have been a depends anyway) was introduced because of #1076494. Looking at: https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/3787#issuecomment-2213618204 distutils is allegedly no longer used, and indeed a poor-man’s check: $ grep -R distutils /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/fail2ban $ seems to confirm this (for both, sid and trixie). So AFAICS, but please double check, the Recommends can be dropped. Cheers, Chris.
