So, who cares?? Hmm, interesting ... I hadn't noticed that the successful updates happen at the same time. The error I posted is the *only* message (send to root via email) returned by 'freshclam --quiet' running from cron and I hadn't made the connection between this happening and an update coming through. Will check this out more closely the next time it happens. By the way, belittling a legitimate problem report with "Don't see what the fuss is about" and "Who cares?" is not actually very helpful, although your log listing *is* helpful. Just because a particular problem might seem benign, that's no reason to ignore it. As was posted, it seems that this error is a symptom of some of the mirrors being unavailable, which *is* a problem, even if client updates are ultimately getting through.
