Clamav engine is outdated
 

Hiho,

I'm using debian etch - clamav.

clamscan states: >> This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated.<<

which is correct, my system is using 0.95.3 in vola you find 0.96

I did the following:

check

/etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main contrib non-free

ran
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

still 0.95

ran
apt-get remove clamav
apt-get clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

still 0.95

Any other hints?

Thx
JD

while it is not much help, I've had the same problem with various 'distros' so perhaps it is a problem with clamav. Did manage to upgrade the signatures via the gui front end but the 'engine' still reports as out of date so will be interested as to how you solve this one.

Fred.

Wow you are still running Etch? Security support for Etch ended back in February.

Only way you are going to get 0.96 is by building it from source or updating to the current Stable. And even using Lenny you would have to get clamav from volatile.
