Public bug reported: Binary package hint: clamav-freshclam
Running /usr/bin/freshclam it is denied read access to /etc/resolv.conf due to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.freshclam not specifying read permission for it. Then the resolver falls back to sending the DNS query to 127.0.0.1. On systems where DNS caching is hosted on other machines and not on the local machine, there will be no DNS answer, and freshclam will fail. Manually adding permission for reading /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.freshclam works around this problem.
