Resolved SpamAssassin daily update cron exited with return code 4

[lordnikkon]

On all our systems there is a problem with the SpamAssassin update cron. This is the error message (received by eMail):

run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/60sa-update exited with return code 4

I found this solution but it didn't help

# wget http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/GPG.KEY
# sa-update --import GPG.KEY

Any idea what's wrong?

What is the output of command:

/usr/bin/sa-update; echo $?

On our servers the same thing. I also tried your GPG.KEY snippet, but also don't work for us.

What is the output of command:
/usr/bin/sa-update; echo $?

config: warning: description exists for non-existent rule USER_IN_ALLOWLIST_TO
channel: lint check of update failed, channel failed

The same with me!
Receive an email every day
Subject: Cron <root @ .....> test -x / usr / sbin / anacron || (cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily)
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/60sa-update exited with return code 4

What I found out that it has to do with a missing certificate.
wget http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/GPG.KEY - here is a mistake
but try that!

# wget --no-check-certificate http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/GPG.KEY

and then

# sa-update --import GPG.KEY

but error message remains!

The same on our machines:

config: warning: description exists for non-existent rule USER_IN_ALLOWLIST_TO
channel: lint check of update failed, channel failed

7838 – sa-update failes with error message (warning)

bz.apache.org

seems it will be fixed in the next update from them

 

[lordnikkon]

Perfect, thanks Arashi.

 

[paine_one]

When it will be fixed? Every day I become this email with the same error...

+1
Is there any work around until it is officially fixed?

 

[IgorG]

# rpm -qf /usr/bin/sa-update
spamassassin-3.4.0-5.el7_7.x86_64

# rpm -qi spamassassin | grep Vendor
Vendor : CentOS

As you can see, vendor of the affected package is CentOS. SpamAssassin Bug 7838 – sa-update failes with error message (warning) is marked as Fixed. So, we have to wait for CentOS package update with the included fix, I suppose.

 

[knollsen]

It's not just CentOS! With me Ubuntu.
I guess it's not just the bug, it's also a problem with the certificate.
It doesn't work for me # wget http://spamassassin.apache.org/updates/GPG.KEY
ERROR: cannot verify spamassassin.apache.org's certificate
Is that also with you?

 

[Dirk]

I am having this problem with Ubuntu as well

 

[IgorG]

Guys, CentOS was just an example. Of course, this applies to all operating systems for Plesk.

 

[Dirk]

Ah... Ok

I am having this problem with Ubuntu as well

Me to. I use Ubuntu 18.04
