Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Spamassassin 3.4.0-1ubuntu2.1
What should happen:
sa-update should run on the daily cron job without error
What does happen:
sa-update fails with error:
could not find working mirror, channel failed
The problem is related to perl's wonky threading. The fork call in sa-
update that utilizes curl/wget/fetch to retrieve data results in the
child process immediately dying from a SIGPIPE signal.
Adding the following at line 132 fixes the problem:
$SIG{PIPE} = 'IGNORE';
I can't vouch for whether that is the RIGHT thing to do, but it seems ok
in context and does allow sa-update to run.
I will attach before and after logs running sa-update as configured by
the package's daily cron task. (note that between the two runs I also
updated the gpg key).
