after deleting gravity.db and gravity_temp.db, runing pihole -g should fix it

This list is obsolete and no longer maintained. You should delete it.

This is because the changed code has not yet been incorporated in the master branch of Pi-hole.

It is in the development branch only at this point.

FYI - Have noticed the last 2 updates (sudo pihole -up) has an error, source not found, for the malware domain list.

riskanalytics has a notification of shutting off the feed (Nov/2019) and provides a new source for the feed to the list malware domains.
