I am trying to figure this one out. I need some help as apparently my
google-fu isn't strong today. I installed faii2ban so I could use it to
monitor the logs and adjust the firewall as necessary. It installed
okay, and seems to run okay EXCEPT for this one error I get each time I
start fail2ban-server:
2021-02-06 18:30:28,128 fail2ban.server [32124]: ERROR Unable to
import fail2ban database module as sqlite is not available.
At first I thought it was complaining about it's own missing module. But
there's no use flag for sqlite in fail2ban. So then I looked at python
itself. Sure enough, the sqlite use flag was disabled. So I turned it
on and re-emerged python. I also fixed a couple flags on sqlite itself
and re-emerged it. STILL I get this error. How do I fix this?

Just a guess: did you rebuild EVERY version of python, or just one? It

could be that fail2ban is running under a version that you didn't re-
emerge.

Some debugging from
https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/2608#issuecomment-576450793
:
fail2ban-python --version
fail2ban-python -c 'import sqlite3; print("ok")'
fail2ban-python -c 'from fail2ban.server.database import Fail2BanDb;
print("ok")'

Best regards,

You were right. With the debugging tips from Alex Mishustin I was able
to determine that I had rebuilt 3.9 while fail2ban was using 3.8. I did
what I SHOULD have done in the first place and did an emerge -DN
fail2ban. That caused portage to see that Python 3.8 needed to be
rebuilt, and it did so. Now fail2ban is able to access the sqlite database.
Thanks!
