No, I did nothing. I just started the clamd daemon and waitet. I started 
'ps aux' to see whether the daemon is still there or not. And after about 
5 seconds of doing nothing it disappears with that error message.

I opened a new bug report together with the output of clamconf and the 
whole error log message.

Okay, but now it would be interesting which socket is meant. Since when I 
use the old behaviour (Listen on TCP-Port) there should not be any socket.

Yes, and I would say that I have understood how clamd works. It is similiar 
to MySQL or SpamAssassin for instance where you can also connect to via 
TCP and via a local socket. But with clamd none of this both methods works 
for me.
