sweep error: Error initialising detection engine - missing main virus data

Hi,

I installed Sophos 9 on Debian 10. Anything seems to work except sweep. When I call it I get an error:

Error initialising detection engine - missing main virus data

It happens even when I specify the directory for ide files on command line:

root@server /opt/sophos-av # /opt/sophos-av/engine/sweep -idedir=/opt/sophos-av/lib/sav .

Error initialising detection engine - missing main virus data

I tried to install the same package on a Suse system. It works without any problems.

The directory /opt/sophos-av/lib/sav exists, I can read anything inside. What is wrong here?

Bye and thanks for help

Torsten
