Clam-tk will not update after GUI upgrade

Asked by FrankHS

When the last clam-tk update occured (Jan 27, 09) the clam-tk interface will no longer update. The GUI will update but the virus definitions won't.

This occurs in "user" mode or in "root" mode (gksu). The GUI is clamtk 4.08 and it worked perfectly before the upgrade.

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.

Any ideas that I haven't tried?

Thanks

I just tried starting the clamtk using sudo in the terminal (sudo clamtk %F) and no difference.

When doing the manual update it opens the updates box, checks and reports the GUI is up to date but reports "failed" on the signature updates.

On one unistall/reinstall I went through manually and deleted any clamav config files I could find in the home/frank, root and etc directories withn no change...
