Hi Will

Given that CentOS 6.x use SysVInit rather than systemd, I think you're probably looking at something that's not entirely compatible with your needs.

For CentOS 6.x you need:

clamav

clamav-db

at minimum; if you want to be able to do daemon-based scanning (e.g. for a mail system) then you also need the 'clamd' package too.

Also, you have only a few days to the EOL of CentOS 6 - https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product

Subject: [clamav-users] clamav-scanner-systemd

Hello,

I'm using Ansible role (https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-clamav) to install Clamav on Centos 6.10, but it fails to install the clamav-scanner-systemd package, but works for Centos07.

Is there a specific package I should be using instead or does clamav package cover all of this?  

This is the task where it fails:

- name: Ensure ClamAV packages are installed.
	package: name={{ item }} state=present
	with_items: "{{ clamav_packages }}"
	register: clamav_packages_install

__clamav_packages:
	- clamav
	- clamav-update
	- clamav-scanner-systemd

Regards,

Will
