[Bug 1694922] Re: /etc/cron.monthly/ieee-data fails every month on redirected URLS

[4tro]

update:

I just assumed we didn't have wget on the system and it would use curl.
But actually, it uses wget, and it still fails.

Not sure why it fails now, but the point about the updated version doing
it totally different still stands.

Title:
  /etc/cron.monthly/ieee-data fails every month on redirected URLS

Status in ieee-data package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  the script fails and mails the following:

  run-parts: /etc/cron.monthly/ieee-data exited with return code 1

  the following URLS are giving a 302 redirect:
  - http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui28/mam.txt
  - http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui36/oui36.txt

  1) # lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  2) # apt-cache policy ieee-data
  ieee-data:
    Installed: 20150531.1
    Candidate: 20150531.1
    Version table:
   *** 20150531.1 500
          500 http://apt.osso.nl/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages
          500 http://apt.osso.nl/ubuntu xenial/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) it should have grabbed the right urls or it should follow the
  redirects by using `curl -L`, but in later ubuntu versions this script
  is completely overhauled, so a backport might be more appropriate.

  4) it fails with an exit code 1 and mails once for every server you
  have.
