Hi altogether,
I´m on Linux/Lubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (kernel 5.4.0-77-generic)
Clamav and clamav-freshclam are installed and everything was working
perfectly - until today.
All of a sudden a huge download began. It turned out *freshclam* was
downloading something.
It almost seemed never-ending. I terminated the download process as a
UMTS-stick is my sole means of internet connection and I only have 5 GB
per 28 days available.
After "killall freshclam" I invoked "sudo freshclam" manually to see
what was going on:
Here´s the output:
sudo freshclam

So basically I received new files: "daily.cvd" and "main.cvd", which
cost me around 55 MB and 160 MB respectively.
But what I don´t understand is why I get the messages
"!cdiff_apply: lseek(desc, -350, SEEK_END) failed"
and the resulting
"!downloadPatch: Can't apply patch"
in the first place.
I never had difficulties with freshclam in the past.
I surely cannot afford to have the whole of "daily.cvd" and "main.cvd"
downloaded every time.
Can anybody tell me why all that is and what can be done about it?
Many thanks in advance.
Greetings from Rosika
