This looks like a packageing problem. SELinux expects /var/lib/clamav instead of /var/clamav. THis is the path in the fedora-extras package. If you need to use /var/clamav, you can change the file context to clamd_var_lib_t And then use semanage fcontext -a -t clamd_var_lib_t /var/clamav Or if you move the directory to /var/lib you need to restorecon -R -v /var/lib/clamav (Which I recommend) |
