I'm not sure freshclam was ment to be run by a normal user. There's a freshclam daemon, which runs in the background as 'clamav' user, and it takes care of updating the database. If you run it as a normal user, it won't have permissions to open the logfiles, to open the database directory, etc.
You can check that freshclam is running with the following command: "ps axu |grep freshclam" If it's not running, try starting it: /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam start -- don't start freshclam https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657672 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
