The Problem is that ClamTK.deb Package provide to install the outdated ClamAV Packages from Ubuntu Repository.
But i use the latest ClamAV.deb Package from the Official ClamAV Website and these Package uses other Systemdirectorys to install the Scanner and his tools.

Or to configure ClamTK to use the Tools from the newest ClamAV.deb Package from ClamAV Website after installing both together, or to change/enhanced the dependencies to satisfy the apt installer by take dependency of both, the old and the new release from ClamAV and use the newest?

Hi @SaschaVasarrhelyi ,

Unfortunately I don't have any control over the ClamAV packages. Are you using the latest version of Debian or Ubuntu?

Hi Dave M,

i use Ubuntu- Mate 20.04LTS.

My thought was if there a way for you ClamTK to teach to detect which version of ClamAV are installed and then automatical configure ClamTK to set the configur of ClamTK to use the newest ClamAV Tools if it is installed.

I think the only different between the Newest ClamAV.deb Package from the Website and there from repository are the Installpath of the tools. In the Newest ClamAV-0.105.0-1.deb from https://www.clamav.net/ the Tools are installed in /usr/local/bin/clamacan and the libs in usr/local/lib/libclamav.so . The Repo- Packages are in /usr/bin/clamascan and the libs in /usr/lib/libclamav.so.

So i thought eventualy there is a way to teach ClamTK which version are installed and to pick up the latest if exists to scan and deteckt as installed, so that i don't must install the outdated package from Repo if i would install ClamTK that are just like to install the outdated package and just onely demands this as dependency.

It would be cool i think, if ClamTK by the installation accept the Up To Date Version of ClamAV from there Website as dependency and can use it after installation.

Greetings and an quiet good day

I think I have to build another rpm or deb to use the ClamAV-provided files. I'll test it out when I can.
