[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi everyone

When I try to install clamav I am getting errots
When I try to follow installation instructions from debian's site
instruction

(i) clamav-data package is not available in the repository
(ii) freshclam gives the error
"!checkdbdir: Can't ope directory /var/lib/clamav/"
(iii) I can't be sure if it is running or not. systemctl status
clamav-daemon.service states it to be inactive.

when I try to follow the instructions on clamav's site

check-devel package is a requirement but is unavailable in debian
repository.

You just need to install:

clamav  
clamav-base 
clamav-freshclam
libclamav9

and doing

sudo apt install clamav

will bring in clamav-freshclam, which will bring in clamav-base
and libclamav9.

You don't need clamv-data, because clamav-freshclam will update
the data for you.

Check your apt sources.list is set up.  Also, you have to be root to
install packages.

I am able to install clamav and clamav-daemon. It appears in dpkg -l
results. The problem is it is not functioning properly. So I am wondering
if anyone else had similar issues or not.

Can you be a bit more explicit? What did you get, and what were you
expecting?

Does anybody read signatures any more?

Sorry, stopping and restarting the service seems to have solved the problem.

Does it work after a cold system restart without restarting it manually?
If not, my guess is some clamav or clamav-daemon dependency is not
getting loaded.  I'm not running the daemon and clamav run manually
works fine. Clamav-freshclam works fine, too, without manually starting
it.  But I'm not running a standard desktop set up. Just a window
manager and a panel.

What do you mean by "not working properly"?
