#6 scanning fails after minor clamav update
Hi Olivier!
Problems occured a week ago, when updating CentOS clamav packages from
0.98.3-1 to 0.98.4. Loading ClamAV DB fails, scanning is not possible.
scannedonlyd_clamav[2550]: Starting with socket /var/lib/scannedonly/scan and 4 threads
scannedonlyd_clamav[2550]: WARNING: Loading ClamAV database failed: Can't allocate memory
scannedonlyd_clamav[2550]: ABORT, exiting: no clam engine
Where does the error come from? clamav oder scannedonlyd? Should I file a bug report on clamav package?
A bit lost.

I'm not sure, I haven't seen this before, I hop I can have a look before my holiday
just installed clamav 0.98.4/19197 on Debian Testing and it loads the A/V database fine... Are you sure the AV database is available?
Just had a look: Everything concerning clamav-db is in place. Freshclam works, clamscan works when 0.98.3 or 0.98.4 is used. Only Scannedonlyd fails to load clamdb when 0.98.4 is installed. Will downgrade again.
Where does this "failed to allocate mem" message come from? How can I produce helpful debug output?
I had pinned clamav until the release of CentOS 6.7. By applying the update to 6.7 clamav packages were upgraded to 0.98.7. Everything seems to run smooth again.
