Hi , I know it's slightly off topic but I have an issue with one of my servers and Clamav updating , can anyone assist fit the following error:

Last Status:
main.cvd is up to date (version: 51, sigs: 545035, f-level: 42, builder: sven)
ERROR: chdir_tmp: Can't create directory ./clamav-3faf2f1e467352775a2a06d517bb619f
WARNING: Incremental update failed, trying to download daily.cvd
ERROR: getfile: Can't create new file /usr/share/clamav/clamav-460f5e1b555518fc8ad66435186f1122 in /usr/share/clamav
Hint: The database directory must be writable for UID 512 or GID 512

Other servres work fine with the same permissions and users?

Check that you are not running out of disk space on any of the relevant partitions.

Normally in our configuration the clamav signature database is saved in /usr/local/share/clamav/ so I wonder if you used different installation instructions than the ones on our site.
