[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#743305: clamav-freshclam: Stops downloading updates (daily.cvd) from local mirror

[Simon Hobson]

Overnight I left Freshclam stopped on the master, so by this morning it was 3 revisions behind.

Using PrivateMirror, one slave correctly recovered once the master was updated.

However, there is a logging/feedback issue with PrivateMirror. The slave was sat there reporting that :
> daily.cvd is up to date (version: 18732 ...
This is correct in as much as the PrivateMirror had version 18732, but incorrect in that the current version at the time was 18735. Nagios correctly picked up the fact that it was 3 revisions behind.

Also, the logging is a bit verbose with warnings (as reported with Logwatch) :
> Last Status:
>     Reading CVD header (main.cld): WARNING: main.cld not found on remote server
>     Reading CVD header (main.cvd): OK
>     main.cvd is up to date (version: 55, sigs: 2424225, f-level: 60, builder: neo)
>     Reading CVD header (daily.cld): WARNING: daily.cld not found on remote server
>     Reading CVD header (daily.cvd): OK
>     daily.cvd is up to date (version: 18732, sigs: 865515, f-level: 63, builder: neo)
>     Reading CVD header (bytecode.cld): WARNING: bytecode.cld not found on remote server
>     Reading CVD header (bytecode.cvd): OK
>     bytecode.cvd is up to date (version: 236, sigs: 43, f-level: 63, builder: dgoddard)
While before it just logged :
> Last Status:
>     main.cvd is up to date (version: 55, sigs: 2424225, f-level: 60, builder: neo)
>     daily.cvd is up to date (version: 18716, sigs: 860736, f-level: 63, builder: neo)
>     bytecode.cvd is up to date (version: 236, sigs: 43, f-level: 63, builder: dgoddard)


Thanks for the offer of a build with the patch. I'm happy to test it if it helps.
