After successfully installing (or successfully removing and reinstalling from scratch!) clamav (all four packages), I get from 2nd day onwards:
/etc/cron.daily/clamav-data: ERR: /usr/share/clamav-data/databasedate does not exist. This should not happen since that file is part of the clamav-data package. run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/clamav-data exited with return code 1 /etc/cron.daily/smail: expr: warning: unportable BRE: `^uid=0(root)': using `^' as the first character of the basic regular expression is not portable; it is being ignored checkerr: ERROR: you must be root to do this! 1. The databasedate is not located on /usr/share. There is no such file. The only such directory around is on /var/lib and it contains one empty file "warn-on-old-databases". The ERR message is all text and the file named might indeed be mistyped. The script is looking for something like this. 2. I could not fine the offending ^uid=0 in any of the conf files or bootup scripts form the clamav packages. Aside from a few querky errors, the thing seems to be working! Here are the last three days of log entries for it: Sun Mar 7 10:12:02 2004 -> SelfCheck: Database status OK.
