Issue Spam Assassin - 60sa-update exited with return code 2

[Phantasia]

As the title says I receive an e-mail with subject: Cron <root@mail> test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
Content:

run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/60sa-update exited with return code 2

How can I fix this or can it be ignored?

Do you have any related error messages in /var/log/sa-update.log ?

There are many lines, maybe these give som hint:

Edit: 1899079.tar.gz is actually not present in the folder /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004002/updates_spamassassin_org/
The folder permissions are set to rwxr-xr-x, group: root, owner: root

If you have SpamAssassin version 3.4.2 or older is in use:

# spamassassin -V
SpamAssassin version 3.4.2
running on Perl version 5.22.1

it is a SpamAssassin bug with ID #7662.

As soon as the bug is fixed on SpamAssassin and a newer version is available for your OS it will be installed by Plesk.
Until then please ignore these emails.

Thanks for the information! Yes, I'm running SpamAssassin version 3.4.2, I will wait until the update.

What do you think about my workaround i've posted HERE?
-> Issue - 'run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/60sa-update' in my mailbox today?

Thank you for your feedbacks.

What do you think? "Proper" solution or not?

 

[jmar83]

Self-cite: 'What do you think? "Proper" solution or not?'

-> Seems to work at least...

Output in file /var/log/sa-update-userlog.log when the SpamAssasin update fails (which happens sometimes due to unknown reasons for me!?):

root@xxx:~# cat /var/log/sa-update-userlog.log
File /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004002/updates_spamassassin_org/1899193.tar.gz does not exist!

So everything seems to be ok now...

 

[jmar83]

And i've done an entry with my "solution" (more a workaround, hehe ) HERE:
-> 7662 – sa-update outputs an error if a mirror download fails
