Hey.

Nothing special, I never manually changed the config, only via debconf.

What seems to be the case here is the following:

/etc/logrotate.d/clamav-freshclam seems to have been once a "conffile"
(i.e. a config file managed by dpkg).

Later however, this seems to have been changed, and while the file is
still there (and used), it's no longer a dpkg-managed "conffile".
However, when (at some version) the switch was done from dpkg-managed
"conffile" to non-dpkg-managed configuration file,... dpkg wasn't told
about this change, and still thinks (on legacy installations) that the
file would be a "conffile".


Not fully sure what is the "best" way to handle such cases,... perhaps
you could ask at debian-devel?
I think one could possible to something like:
- backup the current file to some location
- use dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile to get the conffile
  unregistered
- move the backup to the original location
=> thus everything should stay as is, but the conffile be unregistered

But as I've said... rather ask some package maintenance experts for
help on this.


Thanks,
Chris.
