Description Patrick 2018-04-19 04:42:19 EDT

The freshclam systemd service file (clamav-freshclam.service) contains no network-online dependency, causing freshclam to be started before the network is online. This in turn causes the first virus database update to fail.

To solve the problem, the following lines should be added to the [Unit] section of clamav-freshclam.service:
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
