[clamav-users] Problem with BE db

[Pierre Dehaen]

Hi,

It seems the db.be.clamav.net does not work any more since Nov 9th. I tried to delete the 
mirrors.dat but no way, I still get:

# freshclam --update-db=daily --stdout
...
daily.cvd version from DNS: 25111

The (temporary?) solution is to:

# vi .../freshclam.conf
  => replace db.be.clamav.net by db.de.clamav.net (for instance)

# rm ...clamav/db/mirrors.dat

# freshclam --update-db=daily --stdout
