[clamav-users] Question about clamAV dependencies

Wed Dec 9 20:27:54 UTC 2020

Hi Team,

Currently I am using ClamAV in openSUSE. So to install it I run zypper install clamav, which ask to install 27 dependencies.
I would like to know if all these dependencies are needed,  since I tried to install clamAV only by installing two of these dependencies: libclammspack0, libclamav7; and it seems to work without problems. Do you know if it is safe to do this?

I noticed that the two packages mentioned above are the minimum requirements of clamAV since without them the clamd process does not start.

$zypper install clamav

The following 27 NEW packages are going to be installed:
  blog clamav dbus-1 gawk kbd kbd-legacy kmod libapparmor1 libargon2-1 libclamav7 libclammspack0 libcryptsetup12 libdbus-1-3 libdevmapper1_03 libexpat1 libjson-c3
  libkmod2 libltdl7 libqrencode4 libseccomp2 pam-config pkg-config systemd systemd-presets-branding-SLE sysvinit-tools udev update-alternatives

Best regards,
Darwin
