Hello,

I use ClamAV on a Devuan ASCII (based on Debian Stretch) machine and
when try to update databases I get error 429 from server (logged in

code 429 means you make a problem:

https://lists.clamav.net/pipermail/clamav-users/2021-March/010544.html

are you behind NAT? do you use clamav on multiple machines?

I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.

After a long time I tried to scan a file but saw databases are very old
and update was not working. Then I deleted databases
from /var/lib/clamav thinking this will resolve problem. But obviously
I was wrong. And yes, I have another machine with clamav which is
behind the same NAT as the problematic machine.

Now I just copied files from another machine and freshclam says
databases are up to date. I'll see after update become available if
freshclam will be able to download it.

Thanks,
Marko

Advice, for literally anyone:

Upgrade to 103.2. The FreshClam there is much better and will resolve the issues.

one time freshclam download should not cause a problem.

...unless others knows more :)

this _should_ work. but the real quest is why tehe above didn't work.
If you cause problem, another update may be refused...

again, more info may be available from others

good luck and watch the logs.

I don't think this is easily doable for devuan ascii.
(not much people want to backport manually)

Still, 102.4 should work properly, shouldn't it?

It does. But 103.2 handles the downloads and interactions SO MUCH BETTER (I’ve been watching the updates for 103.2’s FreshClam all morning, and it’s working so much better.

Please. Please upgrade.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=hirsute&keywords=clamav
suggests that Ubuntu Hirsute, due out this month, will still have ClamAV
0.103.0.

Is it worth giving them a prod ?

I have backported software many times. It usually needs much time,
though in concrete case I suppose not so much because you can install
dependencies with 'apt-get build-deps clamav'. Furthermore, then you
have to update it manually. On the other hand, I'm sure the packages
will be updated in Devuan, just with a relatively long delay. It's
always so with Debian clamav packages.

Your choice. I prefer (1) to be responsible for my own security, and
(2) to be considerate to people who provide me with a service for free
and also free advice about how cause the least trouble for them. I'm
running 0.103.2 on Debian Buster which was no trouble at all to build.

Debian Buster was released nearly two years ago; Devuan Ascii is based
on Debian Stretch, which was released two years earlier. I can't see
that it makes sense deliberately to throw away two years' development
plus security fixes but I understand what drove the Devuan distraction
and briefly flirted with it myself. The experience did not prove to
be so refreshing as I had hoped.

luckily debian people tend to update clamav quite soon, compared to common
packages. However, functionality and backwards compatibility is the key
here, not just having current SW version.

There's already a bug filled:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=986622

it could help if we provided proper reason to upgrade tho.

Isn't, "It's security software", sufficient?

obviously not. There are still question:
1.) what may break if we upgrade?
2.) what may break if we don't upgrade?
3.) why should we upgrade if nothing's broken and we risk 1.) ?

etc

Hmm, must not be too worried, then.

The mob I work for's (enterprise) clients tend to send me queries every
time an OpenSSL or other CVE comes out, "How long will it take to apply
the fix?", "When will you have a new release ready?", "Does it affect
the product(s)?", usually in that order.

And yes, we all know about the problem of, "How much other testing will
have to be done?"

Cheers,
Gary B-)

Debian and other distros usually fix security bugs by backporting security fix into
provided SW version.

FYI, 0.103.2 has landed in debian 10 this weekend.
