Hi,
squid aborted today on my IPFire with the following messages:

Jun 19 22:04:25 squid-asnbl-helper[10919] ERRO: Response test failed for ASNDB '<Database /var/lib/location/database.db>' (tuple: ('127.0.0.1', '0')), aborting

The location-database had a timestamp from yesterday:

# ls -l /var/lib/location/database.db
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 41874883 Jun 18 11:57 database.db

after updating with location update i received a new version:

# location update
Downloaded new database from Wed, 19 Jun 2024 10:43:34 GMT
# ls -l /var/lib/location/database.db
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 41899906 Jun 19 22:07 database.db

And squid now was running.

Is there any know issue with the location-database from yesterday?

Thanks and best regards,
Dieter

Short answer: yes.
See end of thread Squid was not started at RPI

Thanks for the answer. I saw this thread. But because it’s from April, I didn’t see a reference to June 18th. Next time I’ll have to read to the end…
