Package: clamav-freshclam
Version: 0.90.1dfsg-3etch10
Severity: important
I had the same problem :
"LibClamAV Error: cl_load(): Unable to lock database directory: /var/lib/clamav/"
And freshclam killed clamav-daemon...

This bug appeared with update of 18th february 2008 ...

It seems that /var/lib/clamav/main.cvd had wrong owner/group  : it was set to root:root and should be to clamav:clamav

What i did :

1.
chown clamav:clamav /var/lib/clamav/main.cvd

2.
Set "AllowSupplementaryGroups true" in /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf (i don't know if it's useful)

3.
/etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon stop
/etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam start
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start

4. Finally flush the mail queue which was blocked, due to the use of amavis with clamav : postqueue -f
