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, -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages clamav depends on: ii clamav-freshclam [clamav-data 0.88.2-1 downloads clamav virus databases f ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libclamav1 0.88.2-1 virus scanner library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages clamav recommends: ii arj 3.10.22-2 archiver for .arj files ii unzoo 4.4-4 zoo archive extractor -- no debconf information -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "You can gtk_main_run, but you can't gtk_widget_hide." --danw, 19-jul-04
