Package: clamav-daemon Version: 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1 Severity: serious Hi,
"Tonight on 'It's the Mind', we examine the phenomenon of deja vu. That strange feeling we sometimes get that we've lived through something before, that what is happening now has already happened. Tonight on 'It's the Mind' we examine the phenomenon of deja vu, that strange feeling we sometimes get that we've ... (looks puzzled for a moment) Anyway, tonight on 'It's the Mind' we examine the phenomenon of deja vu, that strange..." (Monty Python) I had a deja vu today. See #826406. The stable update of clamav installed by unattended last night again broke production mail servers. My mailserver logs now contain 'ERROR: Parse error at line 74: Unknown option StatsHostID', and when that's removed, it reports the next option that is removed, 'StatsPEDisabled', and so on. Clamav really has to change handling removed configuration parameters into warnings or something, instead of refusing to start at all. The current behaviour just makes no sense. Or, alternatively when throwing newer versions in stable, they have to be closely inspected to detect options that are removed and get patches like you did for #826406. I will as well inspect the config file I use to see if I can get rid of options that have default value or are not critical, to lower the risk of this happening again. Thanks, -- Hans van Kranenburg
