      is clamd running check if you have .pid and .sock in the /var/run/clamav/ directory?

        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
                    ERROR: Can't open file or directory
                    
                    

                    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
                    /dev/ufs/pfsense0    908M    583M    252M    70%    /

                    /dev/ufs/cf           49M    4.8M     41M    11%    /cf

                    /dev/md10            357M     10K    329M     0%    /var/tmp/havpRAM
                    

                    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 :-(
