errors from freshclam-sleep
Couple of days ago we started getting this kind of emails from all of our servers:

Any advice to fix this?

The ownership of those files is really strange. the user/group should be clamupdate You can update the owner by running the following: chown clamupdate:clamupdate mirrors.dat0 -

I changed the user/group in one server and check later if that fixes the problem.0 -
Did this fix the problem? I started getting these same errors. 0 -

Yes, after I changed user/group all seems fine. But still nobody seems to know why that happened.0 -
The best answer I can give you as to WHY it happened is that this seems to be a symptom of the recent issues CloudLinux/Imunify had with ClamAV - specifically with the retention of clamav-db package which is an outdated package instead of the current package clamav-update.
