Clamav errors

[damainman]

I get this error on a few files:
- LibClamAV Error: cli_untar: unknown type flag 1
- LibClamAV Error: cli_untar: unknown type flag L

I installed clamav using cpanel's clamavconnector.. anything i can do to fix this?

[brentp]

those sort of errors are commonly fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the addon.

Thank you, I'll try that and post here what happens.

- One more thing. When installation it, i always receive this error:

Changing shell for clamav.
Warning: "/bin/false" is not listed in /etc/shells
Shell not changed.


Can i ignore that?

[damainman]

Still getting the same errors. Thing i noticed is whenever i receive that flag message, i receive a IO error message on the file after it.

"
LibClamAV Error: cli_untar: unknown type flag 1
//backup/cpbackup/daily/dirs/_usr_local_cpanel_3rdparty_mailman.tar.gz: Input/Output error
LibClamAV Error: cli_untar: unknown type flag L
//backup/cpbackup/daily/mary.tar.gz: Input/Output error
"

It only does this for a few files, and i had my datacenter take a look at it. They ran fsck on my drive and said theres no problems with it.

Any ideas?

Do you have clamav install before using clamavconnector ?

If yes, you must have clean uninstall the first clamav and then install using clamavconnector.

I had clamav before, but i completly removed it before installing clamav connector.

Also, after i installed clamav connector, i uninstall and reinstalled it.. to see if the errors would leave.

Thank u for ur reply.

I have that similar problem week ago on one of my server and i do like anand said to me :

Please make sure you delete all clamav lib
----------
rm -rf /usr/lib/libclamav.so /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libclamav.pc /usr/lib/libclamav.so.1.0.4 /usr/lib/libclamav.la /usr/lib/libclamav.so.1 /usr/lib/libclamav.a /usr/local/lib/libclamav.so.1.0.3 /usr/local/lib/libclamav.so.1
-----------

Try uninstall again and do above step and install it again.

If this not help .. maybe another tech guy can help you .. (maybe anand or chirpy)

I tried what you suggested, and yes there was leftover libclamav files that i removed with that command. However i'm still getting the errors .

I'm on a RHE server.

Thanks for your reply though

updated to the latest cpanel release, and still have the same issue

[damainman]

someone suggested updating my version of tar. Would it break anything with cpanel and RHE?
