I forgot I was not supposed to use apt upgrade, but I did! I did the dist-upgrade afterwards, however ClamAV is just not updating.

I am still on 6.4-4 - what are my options to get ClamAV working?

Ideally I would prefer to stay on 6.4 for now - however if upgrading to 7 is the fix, then Ill have to plan accordingly for downtime this weekend.

Code:

hmm - on a hunch - is apparmor installed?
`dpkg -l |grep apparmor` - if yes - try removing it
(if this is the reason for the problem you should see some messages in `dmesg`)
 
Thanks @Stoiko Ivanov , I should have said I did check for that and it was not installed:

Code:
root@spam:/etc# dpkg -l |grep apparmor
ii  libapparmor1:amd64             2.13.2-10                     amd64        changehat AppArmor library

root@spam:/etc# apt remove apparmor

Package 'apparmor' is not installed, so not removed

root@spam:/etc# apparmor_status
sudo: apparmor_status: command not found
 
Thanks @Stoiko Ivanov , I should have said I did check for that and it was not installed:
ok - that rules apparmor out ...

could you please share your /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf - and the output of:
* drill txt current.cvd.clamav.net
* drill database.clamav.net

thanks
