Package: clamav-freshclam
Version: 0.90.1-2
Severity: important
freshclam has a bug in its handling on non-blocking connects. This is
already fixed in the development version, as the following changelog
entry shows:

---------------------------------
* freshclam/manager.c: close and re-open client socket for each connect
attempt (bb#413), patch from Andy Fiddaman
With strace it is easy to see what happens:
If the first database mirror tried is unreachable, the subsequent
connect() system calls fail with EALREADY since the first connection
attempt is still in progress.
Since the first ip of db.de.clamav.net seems to be down, freshclam
cannot reliably download updates.
