    Hi
    Just been testing rc - very nice too.
    Noticed one issue - clamav cannot update sigs because the log file directory is missing.
    If you run sudo freshclam you get error:-
    Can't open /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log in append mode

    As root I created /var/log/clamav, then:-
    chown -R clamav:clamav /var/log/clamav

    freshclam now updates sigs OK.
    Thanked by 1lxle

    Hi - Similar problem, could not run freshclam.  I un-installed then reinstalled clamav, clamtk to put the files in the correct locations.  Now all is OK.
