On Ubuntu, freshclam 0.103.0+dfsg-3.1 does not support symlinks for any of the following: - /etc/clamav - /etc/ssl - /etc/ssl/certs - /var/lib/clamav If any of the aforementioned folders is a symlink, no database update by freshclam is possible. Cf. bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/1920615.
I'm not sure that this is a ClamAV issue. Using version 0.103.1 built from source, on the Raspberry Pi OS (which like Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian) I do not see this problem - although I admit my testing was perfunctory. After renaming /etc/clamav/ to /etc/clamav.real/, then pointing a symlink /etc/clamav/ to the renamed directory, I used the freshclam utility manually to update the databases on the system. It produced the expected result - in this case the 'daily' database was one update step out of date, and it was updated successfully. Are you using SELinux, AppArmor or similar? -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-devel mailing list clamav-devel@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-devel Please submit your patches to our Github: https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-devel/pulls Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
