Hello, I have tried to install Version 2.4.6-2woody9 of the squid package on our Internet Gateway (Woody). There were no error messages during upgrade, but our Client get no connection to the proxy afterwards. I "fix" this temporary by reinstalling the previous version 2.4.6-2woody8.
Looking in the logfiles shows, that squid 2.4.6-2woody9 restarts very often: upuaut:~# grep "Starting Squid Cache" /var/log/syslog Jul 12 12:00:33 upuaut squid[7747]: Starting Squid Cache version 2.4.STABLE6 for i386-debian-linux-gnu...

Jul 12 12:22:55 upuaut squid[8845]: Starting Squid Cache version 2.4.STABLE6 for i386-debian-linux-gnu... The only significant error message I found was this one. Everytime 3 seconds before a new squid process starts: upuaut:~#grep "Squid Parent: child process.*exited due to signal 6" /var/log/syslog Jul 12 12:00:30 upuaut squid[7466]: Squid Parent: child process 7697 exited due to signal 6 Jul 12 12:00:47 upuaut squid[7466]: Squid Parent: child process 7747 exited due to signal 6 Jul 12 12:00:53 upuaut squid[7466]: Squid Parent: child process 7775 exited due to signal 6 Jul 12 12:00:57 upuaut squid[7466]: Squid Parent: child process 7803 exited due to signal 6 [...] Jul 12 12:22:39 upuaut squid[8667]: Squid Parent: child process 8731 exited due to signal 6 Jul 12 12:22:44 upuaut squid[8667]: Squid Parent: child process 8761 exited due to signal 6 Jul 12 12:22:48 upuaut squid[8667]: Squid Parent: child process 8789 exited due to signal 6 Jul 12 12:22:52 upuaut squid[8667]: Squid Parent: child process 8817 exited due to signal 6 It seems to me that squid fails and restarts on every(??) incomming connection. But I am not shure.
