Hi
I might have found the reason for those LibClamAV errors which (almost) nobody
else seems to have.
Today I ran aptitude which also updated all clamav packages. During
installation I opted for the standard package configuration - as I didn't make
any configuration changes.
Soon after that I got another LibClamAV "courierfilter: LibClamAV Error:
cl_free: engine == NULL" error.
While trying to find the problem I also tested the pythonfilter clamav.py
program i.e. the included python modules.

>>> import sys
>>> import pyclamav
>>> help(pyclamav)
>>> pyclamav.version()
'0.4.1'
>>> pyclamav.get_version()
LibClamAV Error: cl_cvdhead: Can't open file /var/lib/clamav//daily.cvd
('0.96.3', 0, 0)
>>>

Where I had a /var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd file before there was now a
/var/lib/clamav/daily.cld file.
It seems that 'daily.cvd' is the compressed version of 'daily.cld'.
The clamav-freshclam package's standard configuration contains
'CompressLocalDatabase no'.
So, the first database upgrade after the program upgrade downloaded the
daily.cld file.
Unfortunately pyclamav doesn't seem to understand the uncompressed format. As a
result Courier will block all messages to be sent.
Would it be possible to include a test for the correct clamav database
versionand throw up an error if 'daily.cvd' doesn't exist? This would be very
helpful and remove a potential mail disruption.
Cheers,
Bernd
