Package: clamav
Version: 0.88.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
"clamav" is pulled by "sylpheed-claws-clamav" (which is pulled by
sylpheed-claws-plugins) on my system, hence I end up with
clamav-freshclam, but not with clamav-daemon.
Each time /etc/cron.d/clamav-freshclam is run, it will read
/etc/clamav/clamd.conf and reload the daemon via the configured
LocalSocket. Since I don't have the daemon, I don't have the
/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl socket, and it fails, hence the mail.
Please make sure that freshclam doesn't try to update the daemon when
it isn't installed. For example:
- move the the config file to the dameon package (this is probably the
hardest with the compatibility hacks in place, and it won't cover
cases where the dameon package is removed but not purged)
- test for the presence of the dameon's binary on the system prior to
trying to open the socket in freshclam (ugly)
- shell snipset that tests for the daemon's presence in the crontab
Bye,
