Per Tomasz, I first checked the number of signatures reported by freshclam
and it was reporting the correct number. So Per Jim, I deleted both main.cvd
and daily.cvd from /var/lib/clamav and ran freshclam again. It downloaded
them again as expected. But grepping for SomeFool in the sig list still
didn't give me SomeFool.P. So I searched my system for the CVD files and
found a SECOND COPY of them in /usr/local/share/clamav. I checked my
/etc/clamav.conf file and it says, as I think it should:

DatabaseDirectory /var/lib/clamav

So for kicks, I copied the CVD files from /var/lib/clamav over top of the
ones in /usr/local/share/clamav. That worked! And now when I grep the sig
list for SomeFool I _DO_ get .P. So the question is this: if my clamav.conf
says to use /var/lib/clamav, and freshclam is downloading the files to
there, then why does clamscan use the files in /usr/local/share/clamav?

Thanks for your help and patience thus far!

cheers,
Colin
