Unable to install proftpd collection

Hello fellow Lamas,

I am currently trying to install the “ProFTPd” Collection (Link: Hub |) to my machines.

Unfortunately I am unable to do so and the error message is not really helpful.

cscli collections install crowdsecurity/proftpd

Error message:

FATA[14-11-2022 12:45:14 PM] Error while installing 'crowdsecurity/proftpd': unable to retrieve item: crowdsecurity/proftpd

I also already ran a:

cscli hub update
cscli hub upgrade --force

crowdsec version:

 crowdsec -version
2022/11/14 12:40:31 version: v1.4.1-el8-rpm-e1954adc325baa9e3420c324caabd50b7074dd77

It may have been the cache was acting up on our side. Is this still an issue today?

It is still an issue.

Again did a

cscli hub update
cscli hub upgrade --force

just to be sure.

Then

cscli collections install crowdsecurity/iptables
[...]

also tried to install some other collection to verify the connection outwards works. That was no problem.

cscli collections list --all
cscli collections install crowdsecurity/iptables

Rather odd I just ran the same commands

Weird.

Removed the local crowdsec installation and installed again.
Now it works :man_shrugging:

Anyway. Thanks for the help :slight_smile: @iiAmLoz
