so I just upgraded to clamav-0.88.2_1
and find myself with the following error when starting clamd.


The last couple hundred times this came up the problem was the user didn't configure the freshclam.conf and the clamd.conf files with the local system requirements, so freshclam was looking one place, and clamd was looking in another. Occasionally the ownerships of directories/files is incorrect. Sometimes the needed directories don't exist.

Examine your config files and your startup scripts (the command line options override the config files) and make sure your files and your system agree on where everything goes and who owns it and that the permissions are correct.

Also make damned sure you have only one instance of each file in you entire system as the other 200 or so complaints were traced to multiple installations with various binaries looking in unexpected places for config files.

Finally - the next 200 or so complaints had to do with the fact that the user did not stop the old instance when installing an upgrade, and the old version was confusing the error reporting.
