Using Fedora 31, this has been happening for quite a while. After reboot
/var/run/clamav is removed, which is expected. However, wehn ClamAV was
installed the user created in /etc/passwd looks like this:
clamav:x:985:981::/var/run/clamav:/sbin/nologin
So Pulseaudio tries to create the following directories/files:
In my opinion the bug lies in PulseAudio in doing whatever it's doing
that needs to create files in the clamav user's home directory at all.
ClamAV itself has no audio components that I know of (it might be
generally "aware" of audio file types, if there are viruses that abuse
them), so PulseAudio should not be doing anything in the clamav user's
home directory. (Or any other similar system user's home directory, for
that matter.)
Creating /var/run/clamav earlier in the boot process - by whatever means
- just papers over the real problem of some process accessing something
it shouldn't be touching in the first place. Not to mention the fact
that ~/.config is the "Latest and Most Bestest(TM)" place for various
tools to file their per-user configuration files; it's supposed to be
persistent, which /var/run/clamav very intentionally isn't.
