Hi folks. Just upgraded to clamav 0.96.4 and found clamav-db is still providing .cvd files. AFAIK clamav has moved to .cld files for a while now. As I understand the .cvd files are compressed and may still be fine for starting a fresh install. It seems that clamav either ignores these files or finds that they are older than the update and doesn't unpack them. No harm is done. So, for an existing install with updates it's just dead payload. I've seen reports (some months ago) about problems with mixing both file types in an installation, though. I've removed the files now after the upgrade. But I'm wondering if there is a way to stop this unnecessary database "update" somehow thru the packaging, so that there is no need to fetch database bytes that are not used, anyway.
