@mitchdz You're partially correct.

clamav-freshclam.service updates the clam database, and updates the
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log.

logwatch does nothing to update "it". It only reviews the freshclam.log
file, looking for certain markers, to indicate that updates occurred, or
if there were any errors.

I had added the recent freshclam.log file as an attachment when I
created the bug report. Please see it there.

I believe that either one of two things has happened...

1. Since clamav changed from a 0.98 version, to a 1.0.x version, the
file format of freshclam.log has changed, and logwatch 7.x can no longer
properly decipher it.

2. logwatch was updated to 7.7, from 7.5, and they didn't update the
scripts for the clam-update portion.

Let me know if you need more.
