Only, when they use a mechanism like ports/pkgsrc/dselect/yum/etc to update the installed version of freshclam, that mechanism leaves the old version of the daemon running rather than stopping and restarting freshclam to pick up the new version.
Or worse, inists on (re)installing the cron script, when I've carefully gone around the last time and made sure that freshclam is running as a daemon (why would one *not* do so? - serious question!) instead of from cron.
This problem depends upon the specific OS & package mechanism being used and requires solutions like a postinstall or postupgrade script to automaticly restart the freshclam daemon.
Which, if missing or malfunctioning, deserve a bug report to the package maintainer.
