Good day!

Please help!

That is normal, the EPEL folks haven't updated the clam package yet, and that is not the same issue.

Ok,
so oddly enough the problem has gone away just like it came... I hate when that happens... :?
The output of sudo freshclam was nothing... the process seems to hang for some reason, I could not terminate even with kill... so I rebooted, then tried again - same result, so I rebooted again and then... poof... it's started to update :shifty:
Two days later the updates are coming without a hitch.
So I will continue to monitor and report if anything brakes down again...

The situation just repeated itself... I can't get any updates from Tuesday afternoon. Right now my signatures are stuck to:

Version: ClamAV 0.101.5
Virus Identities: 25734
Database Timestamp: Tue Feb 25 16:06:17 2020

According to current.cvd.clamav.net this is not the latest sig.

Running manually /usr/share/clamav/freshclam-sleep does not produce any output, the process seems to hanging... When run by cron and attempted to terminate - goes defunct.
/var/log/freshclam.log is empty.

Running sudo freshclam, gives:

yum check-update - gives no updates available.
Reboot doesn't seems to solve the situation.

Any help would be appreciated.

exec

Code: Select all

grep -irHn 'clamd' /var/log/messages
or look in

Code: Select all

/var/log/yum.log
to see what and when yum updated.

efa auto-updates, unless you are henk :shhh: , so don't jump to conclusions.

There will be new clamav versions on a regular basis, the new clamav will be installed automaticly when available in the repo.

Long story short, your efa is up to date :dance:

Thank you henk.
I know my efa is up to date - didn't doubt that :) I do realize that efa is relying on 3rd party repos such as EPEL, and yes I do realize that my clamav is not latest version - all of that is ok for me.
What I don't realize is why freshclam is screwing up... :roll: I think even with slightly older version clamav and it's update should work...
Anyway... here some output:
