Re: [Clamav-users] Missing Freshclam after upgrade to clamav-0.90.3-1.fc7
Hi, I am sorry to have caused so much traffic on this subject and all the replys have included substantive information that I have taken to heart but I still have a question and a statement. 1. The package I used to upgrade clamav was built by Redhat/Fedora for F7 so surely should be able to be trusted for use on a Fedora 7 system. Sure, packages from other package builders could have been built on any distro or release and *could* introduce problems. 2. Why has there been a change in the packaging of clamav? Freshclam is essential to the operation of clamav and *should* be in the same package as clamav. I have installed AVG for Linux for the present until the clamav problem is sorted. Simple package installation and setup. For my system it works extremely well. Thanks to everyone who has responded. Your views are appreciated and respected, Regards, Graeme. On 16/09/2007, G.W.

That way, you can easily uninstall or rerun the build with the same flags. That's exactly right, and it's just what I've been doing for the past decade or so that I've been using Linux. It's sooo useful to be able to go to one place to find out what you have to do when you last upgraded that sendmail milter/ssl library/apache module... Package managers are fine if you package things yourself, but if you rely on others to produce the packages then it's only a matter of time until someone packages something in a way which doesn't fit well with something that you're already doing. I've rarely used one for more than a couple of weeks before that's happened. Sure, it's a nuisance to have to document what you've done. But if this was easy, anybody could do it. :) -- 73, Ged. ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html -- Kind Regards, Graeme. ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html

Still, to update a server running clamd, you would need to update clamav, clamav-data or clamav-data-empty, clamav-filesystem, clamav-lib, clamav-server, and clamav-update. Of course, if you're using the milter, then you also need clamav-milter. No. I cannot understand it either.

Build and install from source? Works every time it's tried as the rpm creators have discovered. One option. But one that is guaranteed to cause future problems on an rpm based system. Only if you continue to not know what you're doing. None of this is a problem when you are the one who knows what you're doing, in fact. Well, I have a pretty good idea what I am doing but by no means would I call myself an expert. I *do* know from my own experience and from others that if one installs an application from the source code (./configure; make; make install) you have a better than even chance of having two versions of the application installed if for some reason a later version of the application is installed from a rpm package and this can cause some interesting problems. It would be *very* handy if all application tarballs had a 'make uninstall' option. Only very few bother to include such an option at the moment so it is a find as find can exercise to remove all the old bits and pieces of an application before installing a new version. Another *feature* that very few developers include in their source tarballs in a spec file. If they did then one could build an rpm binary package extremely simply using the command rpmbuild -tb [tarball name]. However, it does mean extra work and testing for the developers who are doing it in their own time. The biggest problem in this scenario is the huge number of distros all doing their own thing, putting files in their own places and not based on a core standard. It would be easy if all distros were based around a core standard and their own bells and whistles added around that core standard. *Perhaps* then a standard spec file would work on all distros but I guess this is a simplistic view by someone who uses my system as a working tool rather than a thing to experiment with. Thanks for your help as every problem is a chance to learn something. Moral of the story? If your system is based on a package manager, such as Fedora, then stick to it if at all possible. -- Kind Regards, Graeme. ___ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html

[Clamav-users] Errors with freshclam
Hello, I sorry to worry you all but I have just upgraded from .88 to .90 on my laptop after upgrading from FC4 to FC6 which caused my .88 install of clamav to barf. I experienced a heap of errors regarding user and group 'clamav'. I checked the user and group of the files in /var/lib/clamav and they were 100 101 respectively. As root I couldn't change them to clamav:clamav either getting the same error 'invalid user'. So I removed clamav and reinstalled the FC6 binary after deleting /var/lib/clamav. The user and group were now clamav:clamav. Running 'freshclam' I got the following errors. What do I need to do to fix the errors? Thank you.

I managed to get it working *after* I realised there were two .conf files involved. I hang my head in shame:-) I was making the changes to clamd.conf and getting back error messages relating to those changes that freshclam didn't like and *also* error messages relating to boolean being required. When I realised that there was a freshclam.conf file I made the change in it as well and lo and behold, it all worked. When I installed the .rpm binary for 0.90 it didn't overwrite my old freshclam.conf but installed the new freshclam.conf file as freshclam.conf.rpmnew. It installed no new clamd.conf.
