Hey Gal,

This message: “*The daily.cvd database downloaded from https://database.clamav.net is one version older than advertised in the DNS TXT record.” is a verbose-level message from freshclam but is not an error to worry about.

It indicates a known issue with CloudFlare caching that our team has been unable to resolve.  You can safely ignore the message.  Update again in an hour or two and you should get the latest database.

Regards,

Micah

Subject: [clamav-users] local server takes time to update clamav db

Hello,

I'm serving cvd files from a local server, when I run freshclam on my server it takes some runes until the daily.cvd is updated even though the remote version was updated a while ago.

- the clamav version I'm using is 0.102.4-r1
- freshclam.conf I'm using is:
   DatabaseDirectory /data
   LogSyslog yes
   UpdateLogFile /logs/freshclam.log
   LogTime yes
   PidFile /run/clamav/freshclam.pid
   DatabaseOwner root
   LogVerbose yes
   DatabaseMirror database.clamav.net
   ScriptedUpdates no.  (for serving as local server)
   SafeBrowsing yes
   Bytecode yes

some focused logs from freshclam run which not update the local daily.cvd even though it indicates a newer version remotely:
"daily database available for update (local version: 26009, remote version: 26010)
*The daily.cvd database downloaded from https://database.clamav.net is one version older than advertised in the DNS TXT record.
Database test passed.
daily.cvd updated (version: 26009, sigs: 4351133, f-level: 63, builder: raynman)"

Do I need to change my configuration or is it a bug on the 102.4 clamav version?

Thanks
Gal
