When i remove /var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd i can start clamav-daemon again, but i understand that it it then it only runs on the outdated main.cld from 2010/11/14. How do i revert to working daily.cvd ver. 12660? ** Affects: clamav (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/716767 Title: clamav-daemon does not start because of "Malformed database" daily.cvd -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
