[clamav-users] ERROR: Failed to load new database: Malformed database

[Slawek Ligus]

Hello,

The latest code base (7a85da5) does not work with most recently published
ClamAV DB.

After a fresh compilation of clamav, I'm getting this:

$ ./freshclam/freshclam --config-file ~/freshclam/freshclam.conf
ClamAV update process started at Wed Mar  1 12:35:19 2017

ERROR: During database load : WARNING: [LibClamAV] cli_mpool_hex2ui():

ERROR: Failed to load new database: Malformed database
WARNING: Database load exited with status 55
ERROR: Failed to load new database

My minimalistic freshclam.conf

# freshclam.conf
DatabaseDirectory /tmp/clamav
UpdateLogFile /tmp/freshclam.log
PidFile /tmp/freshclam.pid
DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
# end

Is there something I'm missing or has the database been corrupt for a few
days now?

Best,
Slawek
