It’s probably worth doing (thank you, Eric), but it doesn’t seem to have
resolved the issue with the missing databases.
It looks to me as if one of the signature providers, SecuriteInfo, has
withdrawn some of their databases.
I’ve tried a new manual fix, which is to edit:
/etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs.conf
and set the ‘si_dbs’ variable to just:
si_dbs=“
securiteinfo.hdb
securiteinfohtml.hdb
"
I’ll let you know if that turns out to fix the issue.
