Can you attach the emerge output of "emerge -1 python-systemd" ? I don't see that anywhere in this thread. As far as I can tell everything should work as long as you emerge that first, or on the same command line as fail2ban, as the bug indicates. You shouldn't have to mess with any systemd USE flag settings if you're on ~amd64, and in theory touching the flag won't change anything anyway. -- Rich
