Topic: error during installation (while updating ClamAV database)

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release):
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====
iRedMail-0,9,8, fresh Vultr Ubuntu 18.04, mySQL mail storage, Nginx, not using Pro

When the installation is in its final steps, my terminal window includes the following error message:
[ INFO ] Updating ClamAV database (freshclam), please wait ...
ERROR: /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log is locked by another process
ERROR: Problem with internal logger (UpdateLogFile = /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log).

It doesn't seem to affect installation, which goes to completion with no more errors. I haven't yet started using iRedMail so I can't comment on any usability issues.

Just wanted to give you an alert that this error is being thrown.

It's safe to ignore, at this stage ClamAV daemon is not running, so freshclam can not talk to its socket to notify ClamAV to reload the virus signature database.
