I don't know about it hanging, but it does take several minutes to scan an empty file. That's unusable, so I've had to disable it for now -- which means emails are not scanned for viruses for users on my network. [root@gateway ~]# clamscan - < /dev/null LibClamAV Warning: *********************************************************** LibClamAV Warning: *** This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated. *** LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC!

After about 2 minutes it printed the warning above, then took a further minute to scan the file. I have also noticed the large lag time at startup. From the README file, it seems that this issue was known in 0.90.3 and is fixed in versions after 0.91. Rebuilding the fc8 source rpm confirms this. result from clamav-0.90.3-1.fc7: LibClamAV Warning: *********************************************************** LibClamAV Warning: *** This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated. *** LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC!

I just installed clamav and klamav via yum and when I start klamav it says, "Your version of ClamAV is out of date. Please update to 0.91.2." If I use the button in klamav called Update ClamAV, my computer hangs and becomes totally unresponsive, requiring a hard restart. When I tried yum update clamav it said there was no update available. $ rpm -q clamav returns clamav-0.90.3-1.fc7. Sorry if this isn't of help but it's my first bug report and I'm not sure what to do. This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
