I've come up with a fix:
1) rebuild/reinstall simscan (using qtp-newmodel)
2) service qmail cdb
Both steps appear to be needed to fix the problem.
So it appears that 2 things should be done to keep this from happening
in the future:
1) simscanmk (or qmailctl cdb) should be run as part of the %post
process in the simscan spec file.
What do you think, Jake?
2) whenever clamav is updated (and probably spamassassin too), simscan
should be rebuilt and reinstalled as well. I can take care of updating
qtp-newmodel to do this.
Does simscan require a recompile, or just simscanmk (-g)? I believe this
is on the wiki somewhere.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Simply doing a "service qmail cdb" (which invokes simscanmk [-g])
didn't fix the problem. I had to rebuild and reinstall the binary rpm,
then do simscanmk (cdb).
Is this for all clamav updates, or just for pre-0.96.1 updates to a
current update? Does t require the recompile every time, or just when
going from pre-0.96.1 to anything newer one time only?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good questions that hadn't occurred to me.
After a little more testing, I've confirmed that:
.) cdb must be rebuilt after reinstalling simscan. Otherwise it stays
broken. This was on a system running clamav-0.96.5.
.) after a clamav update from 0.96.5 to 0.97.0, it was broken again, and
a simply cdb fixed it this time w/out rebuilding/reinstalling simscan.
My thinking from this is that simscanmk should be run after any clamav
or simscan (or spamassassin) upgrade. In addition, the simscan package
should be rebuilt/reinstalled after clamav is upgraded from pre-0.96 to
post-0.95.
I haven't dug into the code to see what actually causes the problem,
since simscan will be going away in v2. ;)
