Problems with Clamav
I am running Ubuntu's Jaunty and get the following messages when I try to Add/Remove any software:
E: clamav-base: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: clamav-freshclam: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: clamav: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: clamav-daemon: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured E: clamtk: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured I am a newbie and have no idea where to go with this. I've tried reinstalling Clamav...but no luck. Can someone help me with this? Thanks. Techiewannabe |
How did you install it, thru Synaptic/apt-get or what?
Do sudo apt-get check in terminal |
Sometimes the database gets corrupted with some files. If the option linus72 offered doesn't work, try the following in a terminal:
Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a Code:
sudo apt-get remove clamav* |
clam-av error message
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. After scouting around on the Internet, I was able to remove some of the error messages. The only error message that I get now is:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) If anyone has any ideas about this, I'd appreciate your suggestions. Thanks. Tom |
An other option is to remove the files containing this info in the dpkg database:
Code:
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav* Code:
sudo dpkg --configure -a |
Thanks Laurens 73 for your suggestion.
Unfortunately, when I tried to follow the suggestions, I got the following message: tom@Compaq:~$ sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav* rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav*': No such file or directory tom@Compaq:~$ Other ideas? Thanks, again. Tom |
I did another uninstall and reinstall of Clamav and apparently, it has solved the problem. My thanks to all of you who offered suggestions!
