Thank you. That helps. Do I need to repack the daily.cvd after applying the cdiff before placing it in /var/lib/clamav? If so, will it still work since I cannot sign it with a clamav cert?

Thank you for the > help. > Hey Arthur, Before you apply a cdiff, you have to unpack the database for which it applies into a directory. You can follow this procedure to manually apply a cdiff to daily (and adopt it to your circumstances, of course): 1. mkdir /tmp/cvd 2. cd /tmp/cvd 3. sigtool --unpack-current=daily 4. sigtool --apply-cdiff=/path/to/downloaded/cdiff If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know.
