Hallo,
since the next version, all errnos will be 1) supressed by default and 2) made verbose. For now, look at the end of this post for an errno-list.

The update probably works, but your internet connection is quite slow and it takes time (please check with net activity monitor or tcpdump whether the 400.vps is downloaded or not).

There are basically 2 kind of errors - small numbers (= system errors), and numbers >42000 (avast's internal error set). Here's their exact meaning:

1) System errors (permissions, resources etc.):

1               /* Operation not permitted */
2               /* No such file or directory */
3               /* No such process */
4               /* Interrupted system call */
5               /* Input/output error */
6               /* Device not configured */
7               /* Argument list too long */
8               /* Exec format error */
9               /* Bad file descriptor */
10              /* No child processes */
11              /* Resource deadlock avoided */
12              /* Cannot allocate memory */
13              /* Permission denied */
14              /* Bad address */
15              /* Block device required */
16              /* Device busy */
17              /* File exists */
18              /* Cross-device link */
19              /* Operation not supported by device */
20              /* Not a directory */
21              /* Is a directory */
22              /* Invalid argument */
23              /* Too many open files in system */
24              /* Too many open files */
25              /* Inappropriate ioctl for device */
26              /* Text file busy */
27              /* File too large */
28              /* No space left on device */
29              /* Illegal seek */
30              /* Read-only file system */
31              /* Too many links */
32              /* Broken pipe */
33              /* Numerical argument out of domain */
34              /* Result too large */
35              /* Resource temporarily unavailable */
35          /* Operation would block */
36              /* Operation now in progress */
37              /* Operation already in progress */
38              /* Socket operation on non-socket */
39              /* Destination address required */
40              /* Message too long */
41              /* Protocol wrong type for socket */
42              /* Protocol not available */
43              /* Protocol not supported */
44              /* Socket type not supported */
45              /* Operation not supported */
45 /* Operation not supported on socket */
46              /* Protocol family not supported */
47              /* Address family not supported by protocol family */
48              /* Address already in use */
49              /* Can't assign requested address */
50              /* Network is down */
51              /* Network is unreachable */
52              /* Network dropped connection on reset */
53              /* Software caused connection abort */
54              /* Connection reset by peer */
55              /* No buffer space available */
56              /* Socket is already connected */
57              /* Socket is not connected */
58              /* Can't send after socket shutdown */

79              /* Inappropriate file type or format */
80              /* Authentication error */
81              /* Need authenticator */
82      /* Device power is off */
83      /* Device error, e.g. paper out */
84              /* Value too large to be stored in data type */
85      /* Bad executable */
86      /* Bad CPU type in executable */
87      /* Shared library version mismatch */

I see the err 13 is a permissions error. how about

Err 42146

Err 200

Err 42110


also, I cant update the virus defs... get the spinning beach ball every time and have to force quit. is there a way to get this without using the app?


... and that 200 is some unknown error - it is in the system range, but "too high" for anything common (common errors tend to be <128 because the value from exit() in only 8-bit wide).
