Package: clamav
Version: 0.92.1~dfsg2-0.1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Somehow, clamav managed to grab 9GB from my main partition.
this can easily fill up the file system and render the entire system
unusable.
I don't see any justification for clamav to be using so much storage.
du -s /var/lib/clamav/* | sort -n
outputs something like:
21332 /var/lib/clamav/clamav-fec1b308f8d9fb2e408c73423f0e4b7d
21332 /var/lib/clamav/clamav-ff04c27ac6653086ec39d985a2cfa2a6
21332 /var/lib/clamav/clamav-ff2beaaffbdd0be7d735337b562bbe8c
21332 /var/lib/clamav/clamav-ffe4c61a277f868f8bb7784df5a3d348
21332 /var/lib/clamav/main.inc
/var/lib/clamav# ls -l | wc -l
658
so, with about 650 dirs that uses 20mb each, no wonder this is what
happens.

This looks like it was a permission issue. Removing the existing files
and starting again has worked, and an incremental update has succeeded.
Closing.
