WARNING: Failed connection to https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/downloads - SKIPPED urlhaus urlhaus.ndb update

[randolf]

My logs are indicating that the urlhaus NDB isn't updating, with the following error:

WARNING: Failed connection to https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/downloads - SKIPPED urlhaus urlhaus.ndb update

The following command is successful from my servers, which confirms connectivity and the ability to download the NDB file:

wget https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/downloads/urlhaus.ndb

How can I fix this? Thanks.

P.S.: I'm using v7.2.5 (2021-03-20).

I found a work-around for now (I'm using Debian Linux)...

cd /var/lib/clamav-unofficial-sigs
mkdir dbs-uh
cd dbs-uh
wget https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/downloads/urlhaus.ndb

After doing that, and setting permissions so that ClamAV can access the "dbs-uh" directory and the "urlhaus.ndb" file, the "clamav-unofficial-sigs" cron job ran automatically and is no longer reporting errors. Instead, it's indicating that it's updating the file correctly:

Successfully updated urlhaus production database file: urlhaus.ndb

If this problem can't be resolved, then perhaps this information should be added to the installation instructions.
