Hi chshifi,

Can't reproduce doing a fresh install or an upgrade of the package, this will only happen if I manually delete main.cvd which is not a packaging error.

Could you please try to reinstall the package from scratch in order for it to work properly for you?

apt-get purge clamav-base
apt-get install clamav-base

Good luck!
