Greetings, I frequently see errors such as this from several of our ClamAV installations. Pretty much every time I go to check manually (freshclam runs from cron, so I get the errors via email) there's no update available / freshclam works fine.
So why would I get: ERROR: getpatch: Can't download bytecode-YYY.cdiff from db.x.clamav.net ? Does this mean we are seeing out-of-date mirrors? Because i'm seeing this frequently from several different parts of the world. Can freshclam be configured to try multiple mirrors and suppress the error unless none of the mirrors work? If this is tied to out-of-date mirrors then i'm concerned i'll be down to specifying the individual URL's for individual mirrors instead of using db.x.clamav.net (as one can't exclude a result from the dns round-robin). The earlier mentioned post[1] poses an interesting workaround but it seems crazy that we're suck setting up bespoke arrangements when 'freshclam' could be so much smarter? Regards Mark.
