I am using ubuntu, clamd and freshclam from their standard packs.
I had just disabled clamd self-check and configured freshclam to notify
clamd.
I wonder if there would be a race between them: while freshclam updates,
clamd is reloading.
BTW, clamd should try to load the db, if malformed current one should be
kept instead of crashing.
no?
