Anyone seen this?
After successfully installing (or successfully removing and reinstalling from
scratch!) clamav (all four packages), I get from 2nd day onwards:
/etc/cron.daily/clamav-data:
ERR: /usr/share/clamav-data/databasedate does not exist.
This should not happen since that file is part of the
clamav-data package.
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/clamav-data exited with return code 1
/etc/cron.daily/smail:
expr: warning: unportable BRE: `^uid=0(root)': using `^' as the first
character
of the basic regular expression is not portable; it is being ignored
checkerr: ERROR: you must be root to do this!
1. The databasedate is not located on /usr/share. There is no such file. The
only such directory around is on /var/lib and it contains one empty file
"warn-on-old-databases". The ERR message is all text and the file named might
indeed be mistyped. The script is looking for something like this.
2. I could not fine the offending ^uid=0 in any of the conf files or bootup
scripts form the clamav packages.
Aside from a few querky errors, the thing seems to be working! Here are the
last three days of log entries for it:
