/var/run/ntpd.leap-seconds.list may be truncated

[quamenzullo]

I've noticed this message in the daily reports:

fetch: transfer timed out
fetch: /var/run/ntpd.leap-seconds.list may be truncated

It comes from a service ntpd onefetch.

The file does not seem truncated, and is not yet expired (it says "File expires on: 28 June 2022").

I already ran freebsd-update fetch (everything is up to date).

Is there anything to do, or to worry about?

The transfer appears to time out. In other words, the download didn't succeed.

Does fetch https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list work? Maybe a firewall blocking outgoing connections?

I get the same result:

# fetch https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list
fetch: transfer timed out
fetch: leap-seconds.list may be truncated

I've tried using wget instead, and it worked, so it seems outgoing connections are not blocked, or am I wrong or missing something?

I configured pf, but I haven't changed it since quite a long time now, I can check it again.

Ok, that's odd. Because it's using the same protocols, ports, etc. If wget(1) works, then fetch(1) should work too. Configured a HTTP(S) proxy perhaps?
