Hi all,
in my system freshclam is installed under /usr/bin, while
clamav-autoupdate is looking for it under /usr/local/bin.
Even if the hourly cronjob was stating "updating" nothing was done as
the updater cannot be found.
To solve this I created a link with:
ln -s /usr/bin/freshclam /usr/local/bin/freshclam
and now it is really updating clamav.
Is this sufficient or is it better to directly modify the
clamav-autoupdate script?

Thanks,
Carlo
