Error during the internal updaters process for rhel, alpine and ubuntu url

[flomickl]

Description of Problem / Feature Request

In my setup, I get misc error messages during the internal updaters process. I am using clair v4 and version 4.7.2 but also switched to older versions with the same error outcome.

Expected Outcome

The expected outcome is no error messages and the information is stored in the clair database.

Actual Outcome

• Clair version/image: quay.io/projectquay/clair:4.7.2
• Clair client name/version:
• Host OS: Linux but think that does not matter?
• Kernel (e.g. uname -a):
• Network/Firewall setup: No Firewall or proxy involved

Those are i/o timeouts in the log -- are the indicated URLs reachable from the container?
