[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#831607: mbl.ndb database integrity test fails every time and causes cron spam

[Francois Gouget]

Package: clamav-unofficial-sigs
Version: 3.7.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #831607

Dear Maintainer,

This bug is still present. And indeed the file is empty so it's no
surprise that ClamAV complains:

$ ls -lh /var/cache/clamav-unofficial-sigs/mbl-dbs/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 0 sept. 22 13:47 mbl.ndb

Digging further we get this file from
http://www.malwarepatrol.net/cgi/submit?action=list_clamav_ext
which returns the empty file.

But then the whole www.malwarepatrol.net seems to be dead right now. On
its main page I get:

Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): Can't connect to local
MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in
/usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1548
...

Is malwarepatrol.net dead?

Their lists.malwarepatrol.net site still seems to be up although it
seems more focused on URL blacklisting than virus signature gathering.
Maybe they stopped collecting virus signatures.
In any case if this persists this source should be removed from the
package.
