clamav error

[Stoiko Ivanov]

No, nothing else is installed on the server, but at some stage clamav may have been installed manually (I'm not sure though, just saying it might have).

check the contents of /usr/local (find /usr/local) to make sure that nothing else has been installed there (which you don't need and actively want there)

then you can either try to uninstall the clamav installation in /usr/local (if you still have the compiled sources running make uninstall should help) or (which would be the safer and cleaner option - reinstall your PMG and restore a backup (after creating a backup beforehand))

I hope this helps!

Hi Stoiko

I tried to uninstall which failed, but I could see that dpkg knew clamav-0.101.4.tar.gz.
root@pmg:~# dpkg --remove clamav*
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove clamav-0.101.4.tar.gz which isn't installed

Then I downloaded clamav-0.101.4.tar.gz from clamav.net and did a manual uninstall as below:
root@pmg:/home/Download/clamav-0.101.4# ./configure
root@pmg:/home/Download/clamav-0.101.4# make uninstall
root@pmg:/home/Download/clamav-0.101.4# dpkg --remove clamav*

Then I reinstalled 'apt install --reinstall clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam clamdscan libclamav9:amd64'
Amd now it works

Thanks a million
Peter

everyone i got ERROR

Please do not reply to a thread that is more than one year old - but rather open a new one!

What did you reconfigure about the clamav-daemon startup?

ConditionPathExistsGlob=/var/lib/clamav/daily.{c[vl]d,inc} was not met

seems you do not have any virus-definitions - run `freshclam -v` and check if this resolves the problem

else open a new thread with the ouputs
I hope this helps!
