Subject: clamav-freshclam: Recurring warning messages in cron-mode

Date: Sun, 03 Jun 2007 22:11:46 +0200

Package: clamav-freshclam
Version: 0.90.1-3etch2
Severity: normal


When clamav-freshclam is configured for being executed by cron, it
periodically produces warning messages (one warning mail per hour
by default):

WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.90.1 Recommended version: [...]

because of:

32 */1 * * *    clamav [ -x /usr/bin/freshclam ] && /usr/bin/freshclam >/dev/null

in /etc/cron.d/clamav-freshclam. This is insignificant, as the
recommended version is unavailable in debian (at least for a
while). Replacing the above by:

32 */1 * * *    clamav [ -x /usr/bin/freshclam ] && /usr/bin/freshclam --quiet

solves the problem. I think this is the intended behaviour, because
freshclam doesn't produce warning mails either, when it runs as a
daemon.
