Clamav update needed

dvserg

Ports clamd for FreeBSD always outdated.
I'm not sure what this can be by another.
If this possible, i disable all the warnings about it.

I dont think its that big of an issue.
Perhaps a sticky explaining this?

hi all,
thanks for your reply dvserg and XIII, but my pfsense is failing the "eicar" test and i thought that those warnings are pointing to a reason, and that is why i am worried about it, i am not intentioned to criticize any one.

Thanks & Regards,

Long time ago i updated clamav and havp via console - it was on a 2.0 pfSense alpha-alpha - :

deinstall havp and clamav via pkg_delete, then install the newest ones via pkg_install. That did it. Then try to start both via console, maybe you get messages about missing libs. Here you can either make symlinks to the existing libs as i did or try to install the newer libs.

That worked fine. As of my knowing the version of the programs itself is no problem, the virus-database-update works fine which is the only important thing. (for me)

Good luck with trying.

As far as I can remember in configuration now the latest stable version of the ports HAVP / CLAMD's from official website FreeBSD.
We can not rely on the latest available on CLAMD site - this is work for port-makers FreeBSD.org.

Clamav port for FreeBSd is at 0.96.4 which is the latest stable release. It's been maintained by the same person for years and he does a fair job of keeping the port current.

My bad for not reading the issue properly and assuming people were saying the clamavd port was out of date. Yes the HAVP is port is over a year behind

Please suggest a source from which you can install a newer version of the HAVP.

hello experts,
i installed the havp from the console through:
pkg_add -r havp ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-current/Latest/havp.tbz and i got havp-0.91_1 along with clamav-0.96.4 and arj-3.10.22_4.
but it is not working on executing freshclam it displays:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libbz2.so.4" not found , required by "freshclam" , in my libraries there is no such library (libbz2.so.4), i cannot find it even on google. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Current is a FreeBSD 8.х
Probably you have 7.x (pfSense 1.2.х)
You should use http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.3-release/ or http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/ path.

NM04

hello experts,
thank you for your response, yes you are right my pfsense version is 1.2.3 and FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE. Ok i will try from the 7 stable path , i was downloading from the packages-current in the same path.

There is no FreeBSD port/package for HAVP 0.92a yet and as the FreeBSD 7.x branch is now classed as a legacy release I doubt there will be one done that will be compatable with 1.2.3.

I'll see if it will build on 8.1 and if it does I'll drop the port maintainer a mail so the update will be available for PFSense 2 builds

UPDATE
The latest version of HAVP requires that you have mandatory locks on the file system so that is why the port has not been updated.

The Ports tree now has ClamAV v0.96.5 (updated on the 4th of Dec).
