[clamav-users] looks like I have a problem too

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I just reduced my freshclam fetch from 24 to 6 times a day.  But I do see 
some errors when it does try to update:
copy/paste, wordwrap off:
from freshclam.log:

Wed Mar 10 08:09:24 2021 -> Received signal: wake up

So obviously something is aglay with my config which I haven't touched 
since debian stretch was installed. But it has been kept uptodate at 
least weekly. synaptic says I have version 102-4.

What should I fix?

Thanks folks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
