Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, clamav-daemon was upgraded 0.99.4+addedllvm-
0ubuntu0.16.04.1 to 0.100.1+dfsg-1ubuntu0.16.04.1 as part of USN 3722-1
(https://usn.ubuntu.com/3722-1/). After the upgrade clamav-daemon fails
to restart:
# systemctl status clamav-daemon

The regression seems to have been introduced upstream: 0.99.4 supports
StatsEnabled and related options in clamd.conf, whereas 0.100.0 dropped support
for those directives. See
https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/clamav-devel/commit/16bd67 .
/etc/clamav/clamd.conf could be regenerated programmatically, but that
was not automatically done as part of the upgrade. I'm filing this as
an Ubuntu bug because a security upgrade should never cause a production
server to break, and because USN 3722-1 never mentions the possibility
of such breakage.
