[solved] clamav-db download timeout error

[Spinnifex]

Hello

When I try to install

Code: Select all

clamav

I get the

Code: Select all

clamav-db

too. Unfortunately I get a timeout error at 99%.
I've tried this for several times via

Code: Select all

dnf

and MCC.
Same result.
Here is the result

Code: Select all

(1/2): clamav-1.0.5-1.1.mga9.x86_64.rpm                                      374 kB/s | 2.3 MB     00:06   
[MIRROR] clamav-db-1.0.5-1.1.mga9.noarch.rpm: Curl error (28): Timeout was reached for ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/media/core/updates/clamav-db-1.0.5-1.1.mga9.noarch.rpm [FTP response timeout]


The server is always gwdg. Maybe I should try an other server?
How Can I setup this?

Best regards.

I would try another mirror. And I would change it to http. Not sure why but I have had problems with ftp in the past.

For dnf, see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Using_DNF

For urpmi & drakrpm:

Code: Select all

$ sudo urpmi.removemedia -a
$ sudo urpmi.addmedia --distrib https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mageia/distrib/9/x86_64/

(Or specify another server)
umu.se is "never" down nor late, and always fast (for me)

You can also use drakrpm-edit-media
https://doc.mageia.org/mcc/9/en/content ... edit-media
Anyway, that panel is good to enable/disable medias for urpmi/drakrpm

Hello.

Thanks for the answers!
And for the links!

I did setup a new mirror
via MCC. This was successfull.
What I not know so far is which server the MCC use to load the lib.

Is there an option for dnf to show the used mirror ?
If looked through the documentation of DNF and found nothing.

Thanks!

dnf doesn't know the used mirror, it just selects the fastest from a list of mirrors. If you don't add some debug code, it cannot display the url: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/252765/83329
You can only look it up afterwards in /var/log/dnf.librepo.log or look at e.g.

Code: Select all

dnf -v repolist --enabled

and filter out the base URLs at the time of running this command, this might change for the actual download.

Hello.

Thank you!

Code: Select all

dnf -v repolist --enabled

tells me about
Curiously the gwdg server was not anymore listed.
The last server I added was listed too.

So if dnf only takes the fastest mirror, there is a chance that adding new mirror server did not
help , since dnf always choose the - not working - server as in case of

Code: Select all

clamav

?

Sorry I don't understand what you're asking.
Also keep in mind that you only get the URL of the mirror server at the time of running that command, that does not have to be the same mirror which is selected earlier/later for actual package downloads.

Hello

If you have a list of 5 mirros and the fastest mirror produce a timeout everyime you
try then even if those 4 other may work dnf will not choose them.
Is this possible was may question.

Also keep in mind that you only get the URL of the mirror server at the time of running that command, that does not have to be the same mirror which is selected earlier/later for actual package downloads.

Oh I see.
Thanks.

When told to use the fastest mirror (checked via http ping response time) dnf will always use the fastest one. fastestmirror=1 is configured by default in our repo configs /etc/yum.repos.d/mageia*.repo
You could try to disable fastest mirror plugin to see if that helps, via

Code: Select all

--setopt=fastestmirror=0

option for dnf command
I'm not aware about a workaround for that, as the failovermethod configuration option which was supported by yum has been removed for dnf. You can only configure the number of retries and the wait between retries.

Apart from that, according to https://mirrors.mageia.org/status that mirror ftp5.gwdg.de is not up-to-date. You could try contacting the mirror admins ( instructions at https://ftp5.gwdg.de/ ) so maybe they can trigger an rsync again.
