Latest location db update breaks proxy

Getting Started with IPFire Updates Trouble

The actual location database update from 2025/01/10 breaks the squid ASNBL addon.

Here is the error message from /var/log/squid/cache.log:

squid-asnbl-helper[ID] ERRO: Response test failed for ASNDB ‘<Database /var/lib/location/database.db>’ (tuple: (‘127.0.0.1’, ‘0’)), aborting
squid-asnbl-helper[ID] ERRO: ASN database response tests failed, aborting
kid1| ERROR: helperHandleRead: unexpected read from external_acl_type #Hlpr4, 2 bytes ‘BH’
kid1| ERROR: helperHandleRead: unexpected read from external_acl_type #Hlpr4, 1 bytes ’

After that, the proxy is shutdown:

Exiting due to repeated, frequent failures

Current location database version:

Only disabling the ASN filter is the only option that squid can start and being functional right now.

I have tested it on my vm system and confirm the same effect.

I have flagged it up with @ms

Thank you. It seem that we have had an announcement for 96.0.0.0/3 in the routing table. This caused that large parts of the internet were misattributed.

I have generated a new database and you can fetch it by running “location update”.
