ERROR: getcvd: Can't download daily.cvd is an error message that is typically displayed when the Freshclam daemon (freshclam) is unable to download the latest virus definitions from the ClamAV database server.
There are several possible causes for this error:
- Network connectivity: The Freshclam daemon may be unable to connect to the internet or to the ClamAV database server. This could be due to a problem with your network connection or with the server itself.
- Firewall or proxy: Your firewall or proxy settings may be blocking the Freshclam daemon from accessing the internet.
- Disk space: There may not be enough free disk space on your system to download the virus definitions.
- Corrupt database: The virus definitions database may be corrupt or incomplete.
To troubleshoot this error, you can try the following steps:
- Check your network connection: Make sure that your system is connected to the internet and that there are no issues with your network.
- Check your firewall and proxy settings: Make sure that the Freshclam daemon is allowed to access the internet.
- Check your disk space: Make sure that you have enough free disk space to download the virus definitions.
- Check the ClamAV database: Try running the "freshclam" command with the "--debug" option to get more information about the problem. You may need to update the virus definitions manually or delete the existing database and download a new copy.
If you are unable to resolve the error, you may need to seek additional assistance from your system administrator or from the ClamAV community.
