Environment

Problem



The SAV For Linux client fails to update its definition through Java LiveUpdate (JLU).

 


Error



LiveUpdate appears to complete successfully, but the definitions on the client do not update.
 
 
The liveupdt.log contains breakpoints similar to:
 
<IdsFileAlreadyPresent></2Ftmp/2F1238752304915/2F1237326853jtun_sav10ennful25.lin> 
<IdsFileAlreadyPresent></2Ftmp/2F1238752304915/2F1238678682jtun_sav10en90330002.lin>. 
 

Cause



This is typically caused by corrupted virus definitions from a previous LiveUpdate session. These files can be found in /tmp/, under the path listed in the log, such as: /tmp/1238752304915/1237326853jtun_sav10ennful25.lin.


Solution



Delete the files shown in the log with <ldsFileAlreadyPresent> entries, then run LiveUpdate again.
