Hi,
I'm trying to install clamav 0.65-2 with amavis & Exim etc.. on a Debian woody/sarge mixed system.
When I go to install clamav, I get the following:
---------------> Setting up clamav-freshclam (0.65-2) ... Starting
database update It takes freshclam ~3min to timeout and try the next
mirror in the list ClamAV update process started at Mon Feb 9
16:43:32 2004 Reading CVD header (main.cvd): OK Downloading main.cvd
[*] ERROR: Verification: MD5 verification error. Giving up... Starting clamav virus database updater: freshclam . --------------->
I've tried a few different mirrors in /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf but keep getting the same response.
When browsing the mirrors, it seems that half of them don't have the main.cvd file at all. My previous version of clamav had .db files instead..
What's the situation with the .cvd files?
Is there a problem with these at the moment? Or is this just the Debian package?
Where does clamav get the md5 checksum to check against?
Also, I've found that if you have a happy clamav running, then download an update with a bad md5 sum, the application stops when trying to restart. Would it be better to only overwrite the current database if the md5 check is successful, this is especially important when your mail server relies on it to work :-)
Thank's. Sorry about all the questions.
Regards,
Yep, this is a known error. I screwed up the source tree with patching and not thoroughly testing :-( Mea maxima culpa. I found the cause ~8 hours ago and notified Steven Gran immediately, so updated packages should be available soon.
