Hi,

Recently, when I restart my sendmail services.
The following messages are showed:

LibClamAv Error: hex2int() translation problem(40)
LibClamAv Error: readdb(): Malformed pattern line 30284 (file /tmp/clamav-ea3e7e6c8dbe5d3f/main.db)

Anyone can help me on this issue ?


Thanks

Manually download the main.cvd and daily.cvd from http://www.clamav.net/ and drop them into the folder containing the problem files in question. It's works for me 99% of the time when I experience similar errors.

hi ElvisImprsntr,

Do you mean that I need to copy the main.cvd and daily.cvd into /tmp ?
In the /tmp, i find there is a folder called clamav-50308721953777d5, inside the folder there are three files there, main.db,main.hdb and COPYING.

Refer to the clamav.conf , the path for the database is /usr/local/clam/share/clamav.

May I know which is the correct path I need to copy the files to?

Your folder is different than mine, but then I have the KlamAV GUI installed on top of ClamAV. I would start with the folder specified in your clamav.conf

So I have to copy the files to the path where the main.cvd and daily.cvd are kept?

I notice that amavisd and clamd is taking lot of memory ?

may I know is it normal for the result below ?
