I've not tried it since, first, I have no idea would to do with the damn thing after download ( :-> ), and, second, as far as I could see from the debug output freshclam did not have any trouble to download it. Rather it was failing attempting to read it. > Are you behind some kind of proxy? No proxy. And finally here how I resolved the problem. I compared /var/lib/clamav folders content in Squeeze and in Lucid. I found in Lucid bytecode.cld file which was missing in Squeeze. I gave it a try just copying bytecode.cld to Squeeze, and clamav started working as a good boy. So, it looks to me like Squeeze clamav package has a bug. It either does not configure clamav upon installation properly or simply missing some file/s in package. Thanks Camaleón, you were the only one to reply. And this puzzles me BTW. I doubt people do not use clamav in Debian. Is there anything wrong with my posting.
