Answering my own question on the /var/run and the /run directories. There is a
link between the two, I just didn’t go up a level in the directory structure.
The question about the error still remains though.
Hello,
I’m getting the following error on clamav on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS when I look at
the service status:
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/clamav-daemon.service; enabled; vendor
preset: enabled)

‘/run/clamav’: File exists
I got a response from someone about this error but I can’t seem to find their
email. One thing I noticed is that the clamd.conf file sets the “LocalSocket”
to the “/var/run/clamav” directory, however the error refers to the
“/run/clamav” directory. I don’t see a symlink for those two directories, but
the clamd.ctl file looks like the exact same file in both directories. If I
delete the /var/run/clamav directory, I don’t get the error, but if I restart
clamd again I get the error again. I’m not sure what the problem is, and I hope
someone can help.
Thanks a lot
