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,
