Description Juan Magallón 2020-06-19 00:54:00 CEST 
denyhosts service usually fails to start due to a missing change in the move to python3:

Comment 1 David GEIGER 2020-06-19 12:57:42 CEST 
Should be fixed with next denyhosts-3.1-8.mga8 update!

Thanks David for pre-empting this already. Hence assigning it to you.
Can you close it fixed when the update is done? I would not see that.
CC'ing JohnnyS (apparently still with us) as the registered maintainer.

[This looks a jolly useful pkg for a server].
