Has this been resolved? Could have just been a server issue on that day.

Hi Jerry,  Thanks for your reply.  I tried loading clamav again today, and although it came from a different server, I got the same ERROR messages as before.  Actually, there are four ERROR messages in total and they are as follows:

ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateFileLog =  /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log)
ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam unit failed
ERROR: Initialization error

Also, I tried the  https://gitlab.com/dave_m/clamtk/issues/90.  It downloaded fine, but the clamav does not show up as an application, so am unable to execute the download.  I checked the Synaptics Manager folder and clamav and clamav-daemon show up as installed programs there, but nowhere else.  So, maybe this program is partially installed ???

The lock error = remove that log file, you may have cancelled/stopped a run - I tested on my old LL3.8 and mid scan cancelled tried update -- got locked error - rm commands ran, updated fine and a new scan ran..


I did get a notification it couldn't find a config file on initial 'freshclam' on 2nd run all up to date..
