It seems that there’ve been some changes in the SaneSecurity package, which 
provides additional ‘virus’ signatures for ClamAV.

Recently, the cron job that pulls down new definitions has started erroring out 
on my server with reports such as:

Clamscan reports Sanesecurity honeynet.hdb database integrity tested BAD - 
SKIPPING
rsync: link_stat "/usr/share/clamav/unofficial-dbs/si-dbs/honeynet.hdb" failed: 
No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 
23) at main.c(1039) [sender=3.0.6]

I tried to refresh the SaneSecurity install using:

   qtp-install-sanesecurity

but this generated the error:

   unable to reach 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-sigs/files/clamav-unofficial-sigs-3.7.1.tar.gz/download,
 please try again later.

It seems that the installer should now be at:

   
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-sigs/files/clamav-unofficial-sigs-3.7.2.tar.gz/download
 
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-sigs/files/clamav-unofficial-sigs-3.7.2.tar.gz/download>

To try to fix this, I opened up 
'/opt/qmailtoaster-plus/bin/qtp-install-sanesecurity’ and changed the line:

   PKG_VER=3.7.1

to

   PKG_VER=3.7.2

and then ran the install script.

Running the update command usually run by the cron job:

   /usr/sbin/clamav-unofficial-sigs.sh -c /etc/clamav-unofficial-sigs.conf

seems to have executed without error.

I’m not sure who’s currently maintaining this package, but in the meantime if 
you’re encountering issues with this, then you might like to try this fix.
