Hi,

I get the following when I try to update clamAV ... using freshclam:

It used to work without any problems....

Can anyone give me a clue how to solve this? It's annoying getting messages every hour about this ....

Great thanks to a fantastic community ...

Did you try:

Code: [Select]

sv d freshclam
rm -f /var/clamav/mirrors.dat
sv u freshclam

Thanks!!! It worked! It does not produce any more errors!

That was a really speedy answer! Greatful for your help.

Looks like we are on the wrong version of clamav....again.

Would be nice to get updated. Currently it's stopping all freshclam updates as well as all outbound mail (desktop client to server). Well I guess I could turn off email scanning for now and then email would work again but I thought that part of the purpose of antivirus was to scan email.

As will always be the case when a new upstream version of clamav is released, and the devs have not yet created a rpm of the new version for sme.
It's not really a problem as the message says:
"DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq"

That's not correct, you are up to date as the above messages advise.

... as well as (stopping) all outbound mail (desktop client to server).

That's likely to be some other problem. Check the log files for qpsmtpd.
