Howdy! I'm new to using ClamAV (and still pretty new to Ubuntu 20.04 and Linux in general). I recently DL'd ClamAV and when I went to update the virus databases using the freshclam command in the terminal, I got the following error:
sudo freshclam [sudo] password for (my username): ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log). ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam init failed. ERROR: Initialization error! I went back through the installation instructions at https://www.clamav.net/documents/installation-on-debian-and-ubuntu-linux-distributions and when I ran: sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev zlib1g-dev libpng-dev libxml2-dev libjson-c-dev libbz2-dev libpcre3-dev ncurses-dev I got this: sudo apt-get install openssl libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev zlib1g-dev libpng-dev libxml2-dev libjson-c-dev libbz2-dev libpcre3-dev ncurses-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libpcre3-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Unable to locate package libcurl4-openssl-dev E: Unable to locate package libpng-dev E: Unable to locate package libjson-c-dev E: Unable to locate package libbz2-dev E: Package 'libpcre3-dev' has no installation candidate E: Unable to locate package ncurses-dev So to me, it looks like I'm missing some dependencies: is that right? If so, what's the best and safest way to find/install those dependencies? Any help anyone can provide to help me diagnose and fix this would be greatly appreciated and I apologize if this has been answered ad nauseum. Thank you!
