A communications error occurred while attempting to call XMLRPC method merge_installedpackages_section

[carbontitan]

Hi all,

I have enabled the "Sync to host(s) defined below" option in pfBlockerNG.
However, I am receiving the following error every time the sync runs.

A communications error occurred while attempting to call XMLRPC method merge_installedpackages_section: @ 2020-07-13 13:00:21

I have the correct details entered and confirmed that it does indeed update the rules on the second host. But why the error, why would it also be trying to update the installed packages? and how to stop this error.

"XMLRPC Timeout" is set to the default 150.
I also have the option "Disable 'General/DNSBL tab' sync" enabled, as I don't want the general tab to be synced to the other host.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
