IDS/IPS suricata ET definitions not downloading according to cron shcedule

[hharry]

I've recently added IDS ( not IPS ) to my OPNsesne 25.1.7_4-amd64 deployment, and observing that the suricata ET ( emerging threats ) definitions not downloading according to the scheduled cronjob.

I have for now added the suricata rules to the cron schedule, to be downloaded every 24 hours, and can see that all enabled rules, other than ET ( emerging threats ) are downloaded according to the cronjob schedule. The date+time stamp for all ET ( emerging threats ) rules are stuck on the date+time i did the initial download of the rules...

Anybody know why ET ( emerging threats ) rules are not being downloaded according to the cron schedule ?
