kernel bug when installing clamav-freshclam

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.22-7-generic

When upgrading clamav-freshclam, the kernel would throw a bug:

What I did:
* I rebooted and forced a full fsck (which completed without errors)
* I made sure the kernel was not tainted (specifically by not using the nvidia module)
* Then I tried :
  $ sudo apt-get upgrade
  and got:
  Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
  Setting up clamav-freshclam (0.90.3-1ubuntu3) ...
  and then the oops I posted above

[Ralf Hildebrandt (ralf-hildebrandt)]

I rebooted into 2.6.20-16-lowlatency, the kernel from feisty and clamav-freshclam would install with no hassle.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.

Please include the following additional information using the kernel which bugs, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

For your reference, the full description of procedures for kernel-related bug reports is available at [WWW] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies. Thanks in advance!

bye,

[Andrea Bravetti (andreabravetti)]

I replaced /usr/bin/touch with self-made touch, and it work:
now clamav-freshclam install just fine (and it seems to work).

but the bug remain...

somebody know if it can be a bug related to touch and not to the kernel?

bye,
Andrea

[grendelkhan (scottricketts)]

Get the same crash on gutsy as well. I opened the deb and installed things myself just to get the functionality but having this package half installed stinks.

[Andrea Bravetti (andreabravetti)]

grendelkhan, you can try replacing /usr/bin/touch with something like this:

-------------
#!/bin/bash
printf "" >> $1
-------------

it should work...

Don't forget to restore the original "touch" after "apt-get upgrade"...

bye,
Andrea

[grendelkhan (scottricketts)]

I saw you put that in your notes, tried it and it worked like a champ!

Thanks so much for the workaround!

Just wanted to note that I see this issue as well on my home machine, its turned off this week while I am at the gutsy sprint, but I can let someone have access if they need it.

2.6.22-8.16 was just published within the last day and may resolve this problem. After the lastest kernel upgrade is installed, please report if the problem persists.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Bumping to High since I duped a High bug to this one.

[Ralf Hildebrandt (ralf-hildebrandt)]

This seems to be fixed in linux-image-2.6.22-8-generic 2.6.22-8.16. Today I tried updating clamv, and again it would cause the same error. I then upgraded to linux-image-2.6.22-8-generic, rebooted and after that I was able to install/upgrade clamav.

Ive similar problem when I upgrade update-manager:
