Hi, I am trying to install clamav, to be able to scan my email and files etc for viri. I am running Sid, all packages are fully updated. No
funky apt-sources. I do a apt-get install clamav and get the following: fourtytwo:~# apt-get install clamav Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
Done The following extra packages
will be installed: clamav-freshclam The following NEW packages
will be installed: clamav
clamav-freshclam 0 packages upgraded, 2 newly
installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/198kB of
archives. After unpacking 725kB of
additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue?

1 And there it sits. I let it
run whole night yesterday (above output is when I reproduced the same
situation), but it didn’t do anything… I looked into the script that
dpkg tries to execute, it is apparently running the
binary file ‘freshclam’ and it gives
mirrors.txt als the souce for downloadmirrors. I
tried to ping the mirrors and got connections to 3 out of 4. I moved the one
that didn’t work down in mirrors.txt, according to the manuel I found somewhere. Also, I
used my browser to have a look at one of the downloadmirrors.
It is working, I can see the database files freshclam should retrieve for me. Then I did a tcpdump | grep <hostname of
the mirror>, and ran freshclam again. Nothing. To me it seems that freshclam just sits there and does nothing. Is anyone else
able to reproduce? Anyone else aware of this? Or maybe someone with a solution or workaround? Any help would be greatly
appreciated! Pim Bliek ----------------------------------------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
