Please thumbs up if you are in trouble in this issue.

I run into this intermittently on Centos7 when running scan as systemd timer/service. No idea why and when I try to debug it by running the service manually it all works.

Log message:

time="Jun 14 08:03:39" level=error msg="Failed to scan. err: vuls@<redacted>:22: Failed to parse LANG=en_US.UTF-8 yum --color=never check-update. err: Unknown format: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1320623\r"

Hi, @budric
Thanks for trying Vuls.
Let me ask a question.

1. Are you using the latest version of Vuls ?
   It might be fixed in Fix unknown format err while check-update on RHEL6.5 #93
   To update Vuls, Please execute following commands.

$ go get -u github.com/kotakanbe/go-cve-dictionary
$ go get -u github.com/future-architect/vuls

If the problem will be reproduced after updating, It is a Bug of Vuls.
Would you paste the output of following command on the server?
I will fix it.

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 yum --color=never check-update

Thanks for your cooperation :)

I'm running version "Merge pull request #72" using git log in $GOPATH/src/github.com/future-architect/vuls

I'll try updating and see if the problem re-occurs. The error doesn't occur every time on that version.

The output of yum check-update:

$> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 yum --color=never check-update

Was the problem solved？

[budric]

Got some errors upgrading, so I wiped out the whole $GOPATH directory and started from scratch with go get. Error during update:

# cd /home/vuls/go/src/github.com/labstack/gommon; git pull --ff-only
fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.

Scanning seems to work, but vuls tui throws an exception. I erased the vuls.sqlite3 database in case of schema changes, but same exception:

Probably the dependencies is still old.
Would you try updating dependencies with glide?

For details, see https://github.com/future-architect/vuls/blob/master/README.md#deploy-with-glide

Deploy With Glide 
If an error occurred while go get, try deploying with glide.

1. Install Glide https://github.com/bumptech/glide

2. Update go-cve-dictionary
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/kotakanbe/go-cve-dictionary
$ git pull
$ glide install
$ go install

3. Update Vuls
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/future-architect/vuls
$ git pull
$ glide install
$ go install
The binaries are created under $GOPARH/bin
