Public bug reported:

the script fails and mails the following:

run-parts: /etc/cron.monthly/ieee-data exited with return code 1

the following URLS are giving a 302 redirect:
- http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui28/mam.txt
- http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui36/oui36.txt

1) # lsb_release -rd

Release:        16.04

3) it should have grabbed the right urls or it should follow the
redirects by using `curl -L`, but in later ubuntu versions this script
is completely overhauled, so a backport might be more appropriate.

4) it fails with an exit code 1 and mails once for every server you
have.
