What should I do to upgrade my Clamav? Do I need to backup something
from Clamav before?
OK, according to
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=clamav&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all,
etch-voltile has 0.95.3 for i386. So you should be able to upgrade
with :
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
this will upgrade everything on your box to the latest versions.
Alternatively, you can "apt-get update" to update your local package
indexes, and then "apt-get install clamav freshclam" to upgrade just
those two packages and any thing that needs updating to meet
dependencies. "apt-get --no-install-recommends install clamav
freshclam" will limit upgrades to only those that are required.
As with any upgrades, it's always worth having a full backup and a
means of reverting back if something goes wrong.
