Hey all,
It would seem that the new version of Sophos for Linux that was released this week is failing to install on some of our older Linux systems. Specifially, I have a few (very) old systems running Petium 3 CPUs with 512MB of RAM, and on each one of these systems the update failed, and has continued to fail, since May 8th. These systems all update from a central Enterprise Conolse server.
The error these systems get are all the same:
savd: update.failed: /opt/sophos-av/update/cache/Primary/install.sh: line 282: 25886 Illegal instruction "$PYTHON" -c "import Installer.SavForLinux,sys;sys.exit(Installer.SavForLinux.SavForLinux.main(sys.argv))" "$DISTDIR" "$@" "$coreopt" "$talpaopt"
At that, the update fails and tries again at the next scheduled interval. These systems have been failing every couple hours now for the past couple days. The only similarity I can see between these systems is the fact that they are all running the same old CPU. Did something change with the release this week that would cause Sophos to be unable to install on these systems?
We have Enterprise Console set to keep the Linux version up to date on version 9. These systems are running CentOS 5.
Systems that have updated successfully show a product version of 4.89.0, an engine version of 3.43.0 and a virus data version of 4.89, with a release date of May 8th. Systems that have failed to update show a product version of 4.87, an engine version of 3.41, and virus data version of 4.87, with a release date of March 13. The last IDE file loaded on those systems is also May 8, which means they are not loading new definitions since the new version came out either. Needless to say, we need to figure out why so the systems can update again.
Any thoughts on what's happening here?
