One thing that's new in Intrepid for clamav is an AppArmor profile for increased security. It may be that freshclam needs access to some resource on your system that AppArmor is blocking. You can switch the profile to complain mode and see if that helps:
sudo aa-complain usr.bin.feshclam If it works after doing that, then it's an profile issue. We'll need the relevant log entries to figure out exactly what is needed. They look something like: Oct 25 11:52:33 scott-laptop kernel: [ 5308.432588] type=1502 audit(1224949953.717:3435): operation="socket_accept" family="inet" sock_type="stream" protocol=6 pid=12985 profile="/usr/bin/freshclam" -- clamav-freshclam update dns problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292580 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
