Speaking of clamd.conf, I wonder if some of you might be editing the

the the launcher script in /etc/init.d. it is using

You should make no assumptions about the location of the clamd.conf
file. It can be anywhere but is specified by the configure/compile
operation, the installer if built from source, the RPM packager, and the
command line in the launch script. Any or all can be screwed up or got
right by any of the people involved.

Of course I understand that Dennis, but when you go from an old, broken deb
install, to a tarball build and then back to a deb install, these installs
have no clue that they are replacing a different install, so its best to
end the confusion and summarily nuke the old stuff.

Yes, and one way is to do an uninstall before upgrading. I do this for
each of my clamav upgrades. I have found that each of the distro's tends
to customize the install location to their own liking and which is
usually not the same as anyone elses.
