Hi,

Is anybody else having problems getting database updates or is it just
me?  I haven't changed my clam setups for ages (it's on my todo list), 
yet recently (as from Mon, 22 Mar 2004 17:23:01 +0000) I get the following:

 

[snip]

With CVS freshclam version devel-20040129

  Current working dir is /usr/local/share/clamav
  Max retries == 3
  ClamAV update process started at Tue Mar 23 08:30:01 2004
  Connecting via proxy.littleport
  Connected to database.clamav.net (10.100.130.2).
  Reading CVD header (main.cvd): ERROR: Malformed CVD header detected.
  ERROR: Can't read main.cvd header from database.clamav.net (*10.100.130.2*)
  Trying again...
  
 

Does your proxy allow DNS TCP packets?
Try nslookup database.clamav.net on your proxy.
If you get an error, try adjusting your proxy or firewall to allow DNS 
TCP packets.

Fajar

PS : The mirror admins is cooking-up a solution which would ensure
DNS response for database.clamav.net would fit in a single UDP response 
packet in the
future.
In the mean time, if you're completely stuck then just change the entry
DatabaseMirror on your freshclam.conf to one of the mirrors on 
http://www.clamav.net/mirrors.html
