If you are using 0.90.1 (run 'apt-cache policy clamav' to verify version), it's
a known issue that 0.90.1 can take several minutes (I have heard of up to 15)
to create a clamd socket. The fix is to upgrade. The easy way to do it is to
install from etch volatile.
I suggest adding the etch volatile source to /etc/apt/sources.list:deb
http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile mainThen:gpg
--keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-key BBE55AB3gpg --armor --export BBE55AB3 |
apt-key add - apt-get updateapt-get install clamav clamav-daemon
clamav-freshclam(an any other modules you may need). At least, this is how I
would do it. YMMV.
If you are already using latest version from volatile, then I dunno.
