Automated Clam AV update failing - Manual update working....

Hello, i've noticed in my logs that the automated clam av update is failing. I wondered at first if it was the particular site that proxmox was trying to get its updates from.

proxmox 2.3

I then looked for clamav update mirrors and changed from the default setting to a new clamav mirror - clamav.inoc.net.

My Logs looks like this

However, when I log in to proxmox I am able to use the Update Now link to force clamav to update and it works fine. Here are the logs from the web gui for that....

Previously proxmox had been trying to update for around 5 days and all the automated updates had failed.

Have you any idea what may be the solution to this ? I have searched older posts on this issue but they reference older versions of proxmox.

Strange, seems it tries to update using IPV6 (IP: 2607:f058:100:4::a) - Do you have any special network setup?
 
No, there is no special network setup, a standard windows network with no IPv6, its IPv4 throughout.

I agree it is strange and stranger still that the manual update works. Is there any more information I can supply which will help you diagnose this problem ?

I could set up remote access if that would help.

Many Thanks
Shoo
