Email and Groupware / Antivirus database update (freshclam) check fails / interrupted

« on: September 23, 2020, 08:29:54 pm »

Zentyal 6.2, core 6.2.3, module Antivirus 6.2.1, this is a fresh install in a VM
I noticed that emails are delivered as ***UNCHECKED*** due to the Antivirus not running.
Running freshclam as sudo produces the following error:

Wed Sep 23 20:25:21 2020 -> ClamAV update process started at Wed Sep 23 20:25:21 2020
Wed Sep 23 20:25:21 2020 -> daily database available for download (remote version: 25936)

Wed Sep 23 20:25:43 2020 -> !Database update process failed: Test failed (
Wed Sep 23 20:25:43 2020 -> !Update failed.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Note: Removing and re-installing the module did not fix the problem.

As an intermediate solution I turned of AV checking in Mail Filter to get rid of the "***UNCHECKED***" comment.
