[clamav-users] Failing eicarcom2.zip test after recent DB update

A bit of a guess on my part, but I since the hash values for both signatures are identical, normally only the first one encountered would be reported.

Looks like daily-25717 added one signature to the ignore list, which is where my guess that it was “Eicar-Test-Signature” comes in. That would cause the second signature to be the one now reported.

Maybe the signature staff can comment on if and why Eicar is now ignored and if it is allowed to continue perhaps you’ll need to modify your code tests somehow.
