Package: clamav-base
Version: 0.90.1-3etch3
Severity: important

In debian etch one can set RAMRUN=yes in /etc/default/rcS and get a 
tmpfs mounted over /var/run. This works fine with most packages, but not 
with clamav. On startup I get a message 'ERROR: Socket file 
/var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl could not be bound: no such file or 
directory'. When freshclam updates the signatures it also complains 
about not being able to connect to clamav thru that socket file either.
Also freshclam complains about 'ERROR: Can't safe PID to file 
/var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid: no such file or directory'.

I suggest the clamav-daemon and clamav-freshclam init scripts should
make sure to recreate the /var/run/clamav directory structure on startup
in order to work for setups that use the RAMRUN=yes setting in 
/etc/default/rcS

Thanks,
