gave "Error initialising detection engine - missing part of virus data".

Invoked the "autoupdate" script again which appears to run OK. The files
under /usr/local/Sophos/* appeared to be updated OK again but the error
still appeared.

However noticed that when I invoked "sweep" directly on a file it works
OK. That is:

 ./sweep /tmp/eicar.com     # OK

 ./sophoswrapper /tmp/eicar.com  # Error initialising detection ...

So modified "sophoswrapper" as follows ( added #TMP#) so that "sweep" is
run without the $SAV_IDE and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables
being set - "sophoswrapper" is now working OK.

Can anyone suggest why the new "sweep" suddenly started behaving
differently after the 04:00 IDE update? 

------------------------------ cut here
(/usr/local/Sophos/bin/sophoswrapper)
PackageDir=/usr/local/Sophos
prog=sweep # `basename $0`

#TMP#SAV_IDE=$PackageDir/ide
#TMP#LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PackageDir/lib
#TMP#export SAV_IDE
#TMP#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

exec ${PackageDir}/bin/$prog "$@"  
------------------------------ cut here
