Just confirming that lwinch2006's ASCII-only blocklist works with no errors. Definitely the unicode characters in the default blocklists causing the "broken pipe" problem.

Hello. I have experienced this problem with "no valid ASCII format" recently too " WARN: No valid ASCII blocklist format line: cat: write error: Broken pipe " As I have discovered this happens because of the many non-ASCII symbols like "¬ ® µ ¼ Ñ" and others that appears in blocklist files and that PeerGuardian cannot parse while constructing master blocklist. As it has happened just recently I can suppose that blocklists have been updated on https://www.iblocklist.com/lists with many non-ASCII symbols and were downloaded as an update after this by PeerGuardian program. So now I suppose the only way is to wait until lists on www.iblocklist.com will be fixed and all non-ASCII symbols will be removed. Also if anybody know how to compile PeerGuardian with the support of Unicode please comment the method here. As for me I've created manually a common blocklist that includes IP-ranges from the following blocklists presented below and manually deleted all non-ASCII symbolds from it. So in case anybody needs this blocklist too there is a link below for downloading. Blocklists included in "full-ascii-blocklist.p2p" bluetack_ads-trackers-and-bad-pr0n bluetack_bad-peers bluetack_bogon bluetack_dshield bluetack_edu bluetack_for-non-lan-computers bluetack_forum-spam bluetack_hijacked bluetack_iana-multicast bluetack_iana-private bluetack_iana-reserved bluetack_level1 bluetack_level2 bluetack_level3 bluetack_microsoft bluetack_proxy bluetack_range-test bluetack_spider bluetack_spyware bluetack_web-exploit bluetack_webexploit-forumspam cidr-report_bogon dchubad_faker dchubad_hacker dchubad_pedophiles dchubad_spammer peerblock_rapidshare spamhaus_drop Link for the "full-ascii-blocklist.p2p" https://www.sendspace.com/file/uffnr8

I'm using the default blocklists available through pgl-gui's "Config" tab. My /bin/sh points to /bin/bash. Editing the first line of /usr/bin/pglcmd to #!/bin/bash had no effect. Also, it seems like pgl is only loading the ip ranges from the first blocklist it downloads. i.e. no matter what combinations of other lists I select, I get the error and pgl only loads the ips from the initial bluetack/ads-trackers-and-bad-pr0n blocklist. For now I've deselected everything but bluetack/level-1. I checked pglcmd show_config and the IP_REMOVE field is blank.

Either there is some unexpected problem with the blocklists that you want to use. Are they local or remote? Can you send me all URLs/filepaths? Or the script code does not work for your shell. Which shell do you use (check where /bin/sh points to)? Test if it works if you force bash, edit /usr/bin/pglcmd and change the first line to: #!/bin/bash Then the probably problematic code is in pglcmd.lib: cat --squeeze-blank $BLOCKLISTSCAT | # Ignore comment lines grep -Ev "^[[:space:]]*#" [...] BLOCKLISTSCAT yields the filepaths of all local and remote blocklists that are configured to be used (those in /var/spool/pgl/LIST/extracted/NAME). Maybe some shells have problems with the command being spread over several lines, including comments. Disclaimer: your filepaths may vary, didn't check them for arch. Just to be sure: I guess you don't have any IP_REMOVE settings? Check "pglcmd show_config".

Been seeing this if I try to update the blocklists with more than one blocklist selected: Building blocklist ... WARN: No valid ASCII blocklist format line: cat: write error: Broken pipe WARN: No valid ASCII blocklist format line: Binary file standard input matches ...etc. The update "finishes" normally but the number of blocked IPs doesn't change after adding more blocklists, so something is failing.

2.3.1 is out since 2015-11-17.

> The documentation ("Requisite") says the service will fail and there is no mention of 'retry'. You're absolutely right but remember that there are 2 parts to pgl integration to systemd timer: a service and a timer. Just like the "old" cron.daily script, the timer is programmed to be called every 24 hours if the system is on. It also emulates the anacron functionality to call the service if the system has been down for more than 24 hours. So the retry should happen the next day at the earliest or as soon as the computer is on when the downtime is superior to 24h, just as (ana)cron used to do it (including failures when a connection wasn't established prior to launching the script). So again and AFAIK, failure of the service is only temporary until another call is placed by the timer. What I need to clarify is whether the network (and possibly timeout) checks are more appropriate in the timer or service file. As for my reluctance to implement a hard dependency on network.target, it's born by the fact that it would force a network connection regardless of whether the admin or user wants one. It feels wrong to have this behavior by default. I'll make the changes you suggested to the PKGBUILDs. Thank you for spotting them.

@Gilrain: The documentation ("Requisite") says the service will fail and there is no mention of 'retry'. Minor suggestion: make use of 'provides'. Other pgl packages (pgl-git, pgl-cli) could define provides=('pgl') and then remove pgl-git and pgl-cli from the 'conflicts' lists.

Gilrain commented on 2014-06-16 14:44 (UTC)

> Say I reboot once everyday and at reboot pgl-update starts before the network is ready, then pgl will never get updated. Adding an After=network.target will take care of that case. Even without it the timer should not permanently fail and start the service again in 24 hours (from what I understand of systemd).
