Package: clamav-unofficial-sigs Version: 3.7.1-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, this bug is different from bug #704656, albeit similar: The issue here is the output of curl not redirected, rather than the output of clamscan not being redirected.
I frequently receive mail to clamav@`hostname` from the Cron Daemon, saying "curl: (28) connect() timed out!", one or more times. Perhaps, that recipient address should be configurable. Looking at the log file, I find corresponding lines: Sep 11 02:52:07 WARNING - Failed curl connection to clamav.securiteinfo.com - SKIPPED SecuriteInfo securiteinfodos.hdb update Sep 11 02:52:22 WARNING - Failed curl connection to clamav.securiteinfo.com - SKIPPED SecuriteInfo securiteinfoelf.hdb update Sep 11 02:52:37 WARNING - Failed curl connection to clamav.securiteinfo.com - SKIPPED SecuriteInfo securiteinfo.hdb update The above results from standard package installation. The missing info is how severe those warnings are. When have those files been last updated? Note that there are other files downloaded from the same host. So connect() fails intermittently. The page at http://sanesecurity.com/donate/ says one can get a better url by paying for the service. However, shell variable si_url is hardcoded in clamav-unofficial- sigs.sh. Perhaps, making it configurable may encourage donations. In fact, it is not clear whether that host is managed by Sanesecurity or SecuriteInfo.
