Bug 58446 – clamav-0.70: startup script reports error if virus databases are up to date

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Carsten Milkau 2004-07-26 10:16:00 UTC]

freshclam returns exit code 1 if the virus databases are already up to date. The lines
               start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \
                 --exec /usr/bin/freshclam -- ${FRESHCLAM_OPTS} -l ${FRESHCLAM_LOG}
               eend $? "Failed to start freshclam"

thus cause a misbehavior in that case, making eend and runscript believe there was an error starting frashclam.  I will attach a (proposed) patch that solves this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

please try a newer version

I upgradet to version 0.75. It contains a bugfix related to freshclam logging, but the exit code problem persists.

[Comment 4 Thomas Raschbacher 2004-10-08 12:24:57 UTC]

please check if 0.75.1 and/or 0.80_rc3 still do it .. if so then i'll add the patch ..

How about 0.8x versions ?

This will be fixed in clamav-0.85-r1. Thanks a lot!
