          @wheelz:

          You can run pkg_delete (package name) to manually remove a package.  You can add a -f before the package name to force it regardless of dependecies if needed.

          Thanks very much - is pkg_list valid for listing installed Packages?

              I believe so.  I don't have a system on hand to check right now, but you can try it.

                Hi,
                There is nothing running.
                /var/run holds a large list, but clamd is missing.

                Any Ideas?

                  Okay, one pkg_delete later… :-)
                  [2.0.2-RELEASE][admin@herakles.home]/root(2): ls -l /var/run/clamav
                  -> total 0

                  this is more than before. UNfortunately i cannot find any init.d folder, i would have tried restarting it manually.
                  Any Ideas?

                      Ah, interesting!
                      Got following message:

                      WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option MailFollowURLs at line 50
                      LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddb(): No supported database files found in /var/db/clamav

                      I'm currently trying to use the Update option. Hopefully it helps, but the last Update was even this night.

                      Update: In /var/db/clamav is only one file called mirrors.dat

                      Update 2: manually running 'freshclam -v', error filesystem full.
                      But…

                      # df -h
                      Filesystem           Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on

                      there should be enough space left. Any Idea?

                      And of course the full Message:

                        The file you are attempting to download (main.cvd) is 29 meg. Your /var filesystem has 28meg free. Hence your out of disk space error.

                        What sort of device are you installing to?

                        Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

                          It is a Watchguard Firebox, Embedded 4GB CF Card

                          Okay, I deleted rdd and now it was enough space for the main.cvd, it is still not enough for the daily.cvd.
                          Due to 1.5GB of RAM, i had the idea to use a tmpfs in RAM for storing the db. Including it in fstab and directly mounting /var/db/clamav to that ram-partition. 
                          However, it will be refreshed frequently, so a reboot won't be that bad.

                          Goal 1 Archieved: clamd is up and running. But DB Version is from 2011 :-(
