[clamav-users] Configuration Error

[Micah Snyder (micasnyd)]

Hi Vaughn,

Thanks for testing the RC2 and for writing in!

The intention is to install the macOS packages under /usr/local/clamav so they can be easily removed, because there is no easy way to uninstall the macOS package at this time other than to rm​ the files (or if it  had installed as intended, the /usr/local/clamav directory).

There was a configuration issue with our build pipeline for building the macOS PKG for 0.104.0-rc2.  By mistake, the install prefix and packaging install prefix for the macOS build did not match, so it actually installed to /usr/local instead of /usr/local/clamav. I have verified that the issue has been fixed for the PKG for the final release.

I apologize for the issue. If you installed with the clamav-0.104.0-rc2.macos.universal.pkg installer and wish to remove it, you may need to individually remove:

  *   clam*, freshclam, and sigtool files from /usr/local/bin,
  *   clamd from /usr/local/sbin,
  *   libclam*, libfreshclam* files from /usr/local/lib,
  *   libclamav.pc file from /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig,
  *   clamav* files from /usr/local/include,
  *   plus the database directory /usr/local/share/clamav, if it exists.
This command should take care of it. Please take care when copy/pasting this command  as  a mistake when running `rm -rf` with sudo could be catastrophic:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/freshclam /usr/local/bin/clam* /usr/local/bin/sigtool /usr/local/sbin/clamd /usr/local/lib/libclam* /usr/local/lib/libfreshclam.* /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libclamav.pc /usr/local/share/doc/ClamAV /usr/local/etc/freshclam.conf* /usr/local/etc/clam* /usr/local/share/clamav
The install path for the 0.104.0 macOS package for the stable release will be /usr/local/clamav, so that it is easier to remove.  In a future release, I would also like to include an uninstaller script for macOS but sadly I don’t have anything ready today.

Regards,
Micah

Subject: [clamav-users] Configuration Error

Hi Team,

I have run the configuration command, after installation of clamav-0.104.0-rc2.macos.universal.pkg, to generate the conf files from the default configuration. I get no output errors and it looks like all is well, however when I run clamconf I get the following message:


vaughna.hart at NaCl4 ~ % clamconf -g clamav-milter.conf > clamav-milter.conf

vaughna.hart at NaCl4 ~ % clamconf -g clamd.conf > clamd.conf

vaughna.hart at NaCl4 ~ % clamconf -g freshclam.conf > freshclam.conf

vaughna.hart at NaCl4 ~ % clamconf

Checking configuration files in /usr/local/clamav/etc



clamd.conf not found



freshclam.conf not found



clamav-milter.conf not found

I am concerned about the database location message. This is on 11.5.2 on an M1.

Thanks!
