I have install clamav 0.96.5 from my ubuntu 10.04 repository but I want to upgrade to 0.97.5, I download the tar.gz file to my /home/user folder and do this: 1. Unpack the file 2. Cd to clamav directory 3. Run ./configure 4. Run make
Good so far.
Now I want to uninstall the old clamav but I no idea of what packs, I have install: clamav, clamav-base, clamav-daemon, clamav-freshclam, libclamav6 and libtommath. I would keep one or more of this packs for eg libclamav6, to install the new version o I have to uninstall all of them????
All of them. I don't use Ubuntu, but I believe that Ubuntu uses the same packaging system as Debian, and for a Debian system I would use for each package: apt-get remove package apt-get purge package
make install But I never got a valid instalation, when I tried to invoke clamd
Please describe any messages that you saw when you did 'make install' and how you tried to invoke clamd. I suspect that you inadvertently tried to use some of the old software, possibly startup scripts in /etc/init.d or something like that.
I got an error related with libclamav or something like that,
"or something like that" is not adequate. Please give the exact commands which you used and the exact error messages. You can use the 'script' command before you run anything else (such as compilations and installations), A record of everything that is written to the screen, including everything that you type, will be saved in a file so that you can review it later. Type 'exit' to quit the shell which is saving the session so that you can view the record. You can then copy and paste interesting parts of the record to a mailing list. :)
anybody have a tuto or manual that help me with this issues???
You could look in /var/cache/apt/archives for the .deb files which contain the packages that you mentioned. You can use the command dpkg --info packagefile.deb to get useful information about them and dpkg-deb --contents packagefile.deb to get a list of the files, most of which you can probably just delete. Rather than deleting them it might be safe to move them somewhere where the system won't find them and make them unreadable with chmod a-rwx. :) It is unrealistic to expect people to produce manuals or tutorials for every permutation of users' whim. You need to learn about the systems, learn about the packages, learn about their installation, learn about their operation and learn about how they must be maintained. Yes, it's learn, learn, learn, learn, learn. Sorry. At least you have learned now how much work the package maintainers are doing for you. :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
