Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.3.2-4
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream wontfix

I am reporting this so that others who search for this problem in
Debian will have a reference point for it.

The daily spamassassin crontab will sporadically emit this error:

  From: CronDaemon <root>
  To: root
  Subject: Cron <root> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts 
--report /etc/cron.daily )

  /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin:
  http: GET http://daryl.dostech.ca/sa-update/asf/1389758.tar.gz request 
failed: 404 Not Found: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> 
<html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Not Found</h1> 
<p>The requested URL /sa-update/asf/1389758.tar.gz was not found on this 
server.</p> <hr> <address>Apache/2.2.6 (Fedora) Server at daryl.dostech.ca Port 
80</address> </body></html>

This is one of those deja-bugs that has appeared before and will
appear again.  See these upstream bug reports for a history and
current status:

  https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6511  2010-11-06
  https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6761  2012-02-20

Summary: daryl.dostech.ca is a mirror hosted by one of the SA
developers.  It is broken and needs to be removed from the MIRRORED.BY
file until it is fixed.

Supposedly this was removed on 2012-09-26 14:45:21 UTC (two days ago)
according to this comment:

  https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6838#c15

But at this time (2012-09-28 16:05:34 -0600) it is still in the list.
This means that sa-update may randomly select it and if so it will
report the error.

The sa-update script itself will retry a different server and will
succeed but only after printing the above error.  Even though the
error is emitted the process will have succeeded from a different
mirror from the MIRRORED.BY list.

This is an upstream mirror problem.
