Re: [Fail2ban-users] trying to install fail2ban on Knoppmyth R5.5 machine (Debian vintage 2008)

[Eric <neu...@ya...>]

In looking at python versions on the machine, I see there are folders for python2.4 and python2.5?!
Are they both installed and all I have to do is change a pointer somewhere to make 2.5 active?

/etc/python2.4
/user/bin/python2.4
/usr/include/python2.4
/usr/lib/python-support/miro/python2.4

/etc/python2.5
/user/bin/python2.5
/usr/include/python2.5/usr/lib/python-support/miro/python2.5

It should overwrite.

There is one dependency on python so make sure the version is within the
constraints of your current installed version.

Maintaining vintage installations is hard. That's why not many people
try to do it. There's always a competing interest to upgrade bits.
