so I added a fix [0] to the Stretch branch for this. It would be nice if you could have a look on the Stretch package in case something else is missing :) With this change you should see something like | Jul 04 22:14:08 deb9amd64 clamd[8720]: WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option StatsTimeout at line 88 | Jul 04 22:14:08 deb9amd64 clamd[8720]: WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option StatsPEDisabled at line 89 and move on. Now Jessie. It would be nice if the LTS team could pick it up. On the other hand the point-release exposed the problem and everyone had to deal with it… [0] https://salsa.debian.org/clamav-team/clamav/blob/stretch/debian/patches/Deprecate-unused-options-instead-of-removing-it.patch > > Thanks, Sebastian
