I'm running clamav 0.96.4 (updated yesterday, Nov 21) with qmail and qmailscanner. Since last week, the following error has appeared in /var/log/messages at the same time each day:
Nov 22 04:04:16 neidorff clamd[14843]: SelfCheck: Database modification detected. Forcing reload. Nov 22 04:04:17 neidorff clamd[14843]: Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav Nov 22 04:04:17 neidorff clamd[14843]: reload db failed: Broken or not a CVD file Nov 22 04:04:17 neidorff clamd[14843]: Terminating because of a fatal error. Nov 22 04:04:17 neidorff clamd[14843]: Pid file removed. Nov 22 04:04:17 neidorff clamd[14843]: --- Stopped at Mon Nov 22 04:04:17 2010 After this event, I find a zero length file called *.cvd (the * is not a wildcard, it is part of the actual filename). If I rm the file *.cvd the I can start clamd manually. Otherwise, clamd does not start. Logs give no more information. What is causing this error and how can I fix it? (currently, I have a script as a part of root's crontab that rm's the *.cvd file and then starts clamd. I'd like to fix the problem instead of working around it.)
