Just another ping. Can you help me figure out what happened here? It is not reproducible for me, and from our (brief) conversation IRC chat about it, it seems like it was a DNS issue. From what I can remember, freshclam couldn't get a DNS reply, and so fell back to HTTP HEAD to check the version of the database available. Since you were using a squid proxy, squid reported service unavailable, and the update check, and the upgrade, failed. Since a) DNS was totally broken b) you have freshclam in a non-standard install (the default is a daemon, which doesn't run a check from postinstall) I am inclined to close this. If I haven't heard back from you in a week, I will. Thanks, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
