Will a ClamAV upgrade brake ISPCONFIG 3 if not done in a particular way?

    Good Day:

    There is a new release of ClamAV (0.101.0) and I'm getting the usual DONT PANIC! message (I'm running Ubuntu 18 Perfect Server with ClamAV 0.100.2).

    I have seen many posts here where the intention of the person asking for help, is for proper procedures in "how to upgrade ClamAV", but the recommendation always seems to end in "do not to upgrade" (DONT PANIC!) because the main.cvd, daily.cld and bytecode.cvd files are up to date as the Logs show.

    Question:
    Is there a reason why I shouldn't want to upgrade ClamAV, or leave it as it is until a mayor release comes out?
    Is 0.101.0 a mayor release?
    Could it brake ISPCONFIG 3 if not done properly (the upgrade)?
    Could somebody give steps to properly upgrade ClamAV without braking anything?

    Cheers

    No

    No. ISPConfig does not even configure ClamAV, it works with default settings. So in case something breaks, it's not related to the use of ISPConfig. The worst that could happen is that ClamAV is incompatible to itself and stops working with its old config, in that case, you remove the incompatible config setting that is mentioned by the error message and start the daemon again.

    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade

    and in case it's marked as jept back:

    apt-get dist-upgrade

    Good Day Till:

    Thank you for your reply. I have done the updates (usually with apt and not apt-get). I did try the apt-get just now (following your comments) as I'm unaware if there would be any differences between both commands. But it still shows no upgrade available.


    For your reference, my server states and logs

    Ahh, ok. I thought you referred to available ClamAV updates but in fact there are not any, otherwise apt would have installed them. ClamAV is up to date on your system, the relevant lines are:

    Thu Dec 6 23:37:45 2018 -> main.cvd is up to date (version: 58, sigs: 4566249, f-level: 60, builder: sigmgr)
    Thu Dec 6 23:37:45 2018 -> daily.cld is up to date (version: 25184, sigs: 2176584, f-level: 63, builder: neo)
    Thu Dec 6 23:37:45 2018 -> bytecode.cvd is up to date (version: 327, sigs: 91, f-level: 63, builder: neo)

    The outdated warning should be ignored, ClamAV is not able to detect that Linux distributions patch packages when they contain issues which leads to the wrong message.

    Thank you Till:

    Going back to the original question (sorry to insist).

    Should I then, not pay attention to this and if not, when should I (upgrade version 0.100.2 to latest version).
    Code:
    Thu Dec  6 23:37:45 2018 -> WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
    Thu Dec  6 23:37:45 2018 -> WARNING: Local version: 0.100.2 Recommended version: 0.101.0
    Thanks again.

    Cheers

    Apt will propose a ClamAV update when there is one that should be installed and apt will install it. I have explained it many many times in the forum, so I will not explain it another time now.
