Package: clamav
Version: 0.90.1-3.1lenny2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
This past weekend, freshclam seems to have had serious issues contacting
the db mirrors. This would not be a big deal in and of itself, but it
seems to have caused a more serious situation to occur.
On Sunday morning, the clam daemon exit with a fatal error:
Sun May 27 08:18:30 2007 -> SelfCheck: Database modification detected. Forcing
reload.
Sun May 27 08:18:30 2007 -> Reading databases from /var/lib/clamav
Sun May 27 08:20:40 2007 -> ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database
directory (try 1)
Sun May 27 08:22:50 2007 -> ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database
directory (try 2)
Sun May 27 08:25:00 2007 -> ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database
directory (try 3)
Sun May 27 08:25:00 2007 -> ERROR: reload db failed: Unable to lock database
directory
Sun May 27 08:25:00 2007 -> Terminating because of a fatal error.
Sun May 27 08:25:00 2007 -> Socket file removed.
Sun May 27 08:25:00 2007 -> ERROR: Can't unlink the pid file
/var/run/clamav/clamd.pid
So it seems to me that freshclam had the database locked for updating
(for a long time due to the db server connectivity issues), causing the
daemon to terminate (and by default there is no cronjob/inittab entry
to restart it when it fails).
As a result the mail queue this morning had over 14000 messages (where
we normally hover around 3000, most of which are failing attempts at
sending bounce notices for spam that didn't score high enough to be
discarded).
