[clamav-users] No supported database files found

[Rob Sterenborg]

So there *is* a clamav user in /etc/passwd, which has /var/lib/clamav as home directory. It is probably configured by apt-get. I don't know where clamd.conf5 comes from: the file is usually called clamd.conf.

Install from source or from apt-get, not both, so remove either one. If you remove the apt package, the clamav user will probably be removed and have to be created afterwards.

If you're new to all this I suggest you use the package from apt-get and go from there.

hi
I have done both: compiling manually and by apt-grt install and I even install the graphic panel.
I do not have any clamd.conf but clamd.conf5 which there is not any DatabaseOwner entry in it !
in my passwd, I just have "clamav:x*********::/var/lib/clamav:/bin/false"
