--clean command error about linux-malware-detect HOT 4 CLOSED

Is this happening when you have a clean report and running --clean on it or really have found something bad?

What does maldet --report 140715-0536.25502 says ?

from linux-malware-detect.

This is on a standard scan. I placed a test EICAR test virus in a directory. To reproduce:

Run the scan:
maldet -b -a /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/

Looks like this happens if quarantine is disabled, so no file is in quarantine.
Cheers for the detailed test case :)
