[clamav-users] What are all the tmp.xyzuvwpqrs subdirs that keep accumulating
in my clamav.0.103.0/share/clamav/ directory?

They don't seem to have been there with clamav.0.102.0 and earlier.

What's the output of

grep -i temporary clamd.conf

?

For ClamAV 0.103.0:
root@ime1:~# grep -i temporary /opt/clamav.d/clamav.0.103.0/etc/clamd.conf
# Optional path to the global temporary directory.
TemporaryDirectory /var/clamav/tmp
# Do not remove temporary files (for debug purposes).
LeaveTemporaryFiles 0

For ClamAV 0.102.1 it was the same:
root@ime1:~# grep -i temporary /opt/clamav.d/clamav.0.102.2/etc/clamd.conf
# Optional path to the global temporary directory.
TemporaryDirectory /var/clamav/tmp
# Do not remove temporary files (for debug purposes).
LeaveTemporaryFiles 0

But the subdirs are in my "/opt/clamav.d/clamav.0.103.0/share/clamav/" directory. (I install each new version under opt, "just in case".)

And there's no "temporary". "tmp" or "temp" (except in the word "attempt") in my freshclam.conf file.

I just went looking and found "/opt/local/share/clamav/tmp.77a1455e78"
dated October 30...
$ ll
/opt/local/share/clamav/tmp.77a1455e78/clamav-37769720ed6dc18131606d4cf7347de0.tmp/

Looks like it might be a hangover from something that died unnaturally
during an update??

Alas I do not recall if I was fiddling with ClamAV back then.

NOTE: Times are AEDT, so +11.

Cheers,

Hi

Possibly resolved with ....

"Fixed FreshClam's --on-update-execute=EXIT_1 temporary directory
cleanup issue."
