Public bug reported: After doing a do-release-upgrade from trusty 14.04 to xenial 16.04, clamscan won't work.
:~# clamscan -r / LibClamAV Error: cli_tgzload: Unknown type flag 's' LibClamAV Error: Can't load /var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd: Malformed database ERROR: Malformed database ----------- SCAN SUMMARY ----------- Known viruses: 0 Engine version: 0.99.2 Scanned directories: 0 Scanned files: 0 Infected files: 0 Data scanned: 0.00 MB Data read: 0.00 MB (ratio 0.00:1) Time: 0.058 sec (0 m 0 s) I delete the daily.cvd and run service clamav-freshclam again to synchronize the database, but I'll get the same error. After a reinstall from all installed clamav-packages and removed files from /var/lib/clamav I'll get the error too. On a new xenial 16.04 system clamscan worked fine, so I think something goes wrong while the dist-upgrade. ** Affects: clamav (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639130 Title: clamscan not working after dist-upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/1639130/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
