23.7 ClamAV no long works

[lshantz]

So I had a hard drive go bad and the system would not boot. We had a backup of the configuration files. I did a fresh install on a new system and restored the  backup. One thing I found is many things do NOT get restored/installed with a restore. I've been working hard on trying to restore things that didn't load and are not working.

ClamAV, is no longer working. It has been since the redo. I tried the following at CLI:
pkg remove os-clamav clamav
rm -rf /var/db/clamav
pkg install os-clamav
I then clicked on the download signatures in the GUI and checked the logs. Still not working.

The first thing I did was go look in the location where things are and it seems the install package is not installing properly? See the bottom line of the log. I don't want to start manually adding stuff and bork the system without some guidance from the gurus. I'm just a old man, trying to proect his household. Any help appreciated.

DNS issue... "Couldn't resolve host name"

Actually that is a false flag. It is a configuration issue. I can from the CLI ping that URL and it resolves just fine. The config file is blank.

I retract that, but can't delete it. Now it IS failing. So I will fall back and see why that is happening. More to follow.

So earlier I did a ping to clamav.net and it works. The "current.cvd.clamav.net" is apparently a bad URL. So now I have to find out what is the proper one and see if there is a config file that I can add that to. But why the invalid directory where a config should be, and why all of a sudden is the new fresh install of clamav on 23.7 failing when it worked before?
