I deleted MIRRORED.BY and now it's working:

  dbg: channel: no MIRRORED.BY file available
  dbg: http: GET request, http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/MIRRORED.BY
  dbg: channel: MIRRORED.BY file retrieved
  dbg: channel: reading MIRRORED.BY file
  dbg: channel: found mirror http://sa-update.dnswl.org/ weight=1

Thanks for the quick help.

This file is empty here. I assume that's wrong.

I'm on Debian Sid. I'll file a bug report tomorrow. What's supposed
to be in that file (then I can add it manually as a workaround)?

Try deleting the MIRRORED.BY file and run again.  There are some race 
conditions that can lead to the issue that should be already fixed in 
trunk (i.e. no reason to open a bug report).

sa-update fails with “no mirrors available”

[Marco]

Hi,

since a few days sa-update fails and I get notifications from the cron daemon.
I get the same error when I run sa-update in the console.

  error: no mirrors available for channel updates.spamassassin.org
  channel: no mirrors available, channel failed
  sa-update failed for unknown reasons

 Is this a known issue? How to fix it?

SpamAssassin version 3.3.2
  running on Perl version 5.18.1
