I don't recall changing any umask stuff for 'freshclam' -- how (or what)
might this be checked? if that's possible.
I did the 0755 short fix, (thanks very much!), and now 'clamscan' works.
Note on the error message:
LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir(): Can't open directory
/var/lib/clamav//main.inc
ERROR: Unable to open file or directory
...it's a bit vague on what it can't open (a file or dir), and why it
can't open it. The error would be easier to diagnose if the message
was more specific, something like how 'rm' does it:
% whoami
alfie
# try something unpermitted:
% rm /vmlinuz
rm: cannot remove `/vmlinuz': Permission denied
Suggested revision:
LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddbdir(): can't open `/var/lib/clamav/main.inc`:
permission denied
HTH...
