However, these two services seem to be incompatible: when both are enabled, clamav-freshclam-once.service fails with the following error: systemd[1]: Starting clamav-freshclam-once.service - Update ClamAV virus database once... freshclam[2549]: ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log). freshclam[2549]: ERROR: initialize: libfreshclam init failed. freshclam[2549]: ERROR: Initialization error! freshclam[2549]: ERROR: Failed to lock the log file /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log: Resource temporarily unavailable systemd[1]: clamav-freshclam-once.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=2/INVALIDARGUMENT systemd[1]: clamav-freshclam-once.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. systemd[1]: Failed to start clamav-freshclam-once.service - Update ClamAV virus database once. What seems to happen is that the log file is locked by the instance of clamav-freshclam that is started by clamav-freshclam.service. And the (second) instance of clamav-freshclam, started afterwards by clamav-freshclam-once.service, fails. Should one of these services not be disabled by default? -- debconf information: clamav-freshclam/Bytecode: true clamav-freshclam/SafeBrowsing: false clamav-freshclam/proxy_user: clamav-freshclam/PrivateMirror: clamav-freshclam/NotifyClamd: false clamav-freshclam/autoupdate_freshclam: daemon clamav-freshclam/http_proxy: clamav-freshclam/internet_interface: clamav-freshclam/LogRotate: true clamav-freshclam/local_mirror: db.local.clamav.net clamav-freshclam/update_interval: 24 ]
