The cause for that is a243115.
Newest version of fail2ban doesn't use such path interpolation variable in config/paths-common.conf anymore (fixes gh-3005).
But...
Guessing you previously copied jail.conf into jail.local (so it still contains old value in jail.local which overrides it in upgraded jail.conf) or changing jail.conf directly (so an update didn't take place due to conflicts and local modification)... what is not recommended.
So you can remove that line from jail.local (as well as all other lines that was previously copied from jail.conf without modification). Normally jail.local must contains only lines you want overwrite, see wiki :: Proper fail2ban configuration.
