so i was running a woody system with a few backports (postfix, mostly), and was doing a dist-upgrade. clamav-daemon was coming in as version 0.84-1. the process hung at "Setting up clamav-daemon...", dpkg strace'd to be a fork/wait4. the particular command it made a call to was: /usr/bin/ucf --three-way --debconf-ok /var/lib/clamav/clamdrotate.debconf /etc/logrotate.d/clamav-daemon which strace'd to be waiting in read(0, ...), which is stdin. that, when i ran it manually, was sitting at the familiar blue menu of "yes, no, or diff" on some config file in /etc/clamav/ which i must have changed. i think it was that i had changed a config file that led to it not working. after i had run the command manually and ran dpkg --configure -a, the clamav init script was complaining about StreamSaveToDisk not being a recognized option, which i then commented out, so i must have missed something by running ucf manually... my /etc/clamav/ dir now has a clamd.conf, clamd.conf.dpkg-dist and clamav.conf.dpkg-old, so it looks like there was at least a config file renaming between versions. i don't know about reporducing it, as that was the only system i had clamav installed on, and i don't know what version i was upgrading from. i might have a backup of the entire system somewhere i could restore from to learn more about the original environment. i'll look for that. is there a log file dpkg puts information into that would be useful to you? thanks, good luck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
