** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Debian changed the default path of the amavisd socket and also updated 
+    some tools defaults (see debian/patches/95_amavisd_helpers_fixes) but 
+    forgot others like amavisd-release.
+ 
+  * Fix the expected default path to make the config as installed by
+    default work
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * install amavisd-new
+  * run the command (--help is enough, no need to think about arguments too 
+     much)
+    $ amavisd-release --help
+      Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/amavis/amavisd.sock: No such file 
+      or directory at /usr/sbin/amavisd-release line 271.
+ 
+  * With the fix the socket (at /var/lib/amavis/amavisd.sock) is
+    found correctly
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * Formerly the tool was not working, so there isn't a lot to regress with 
+    the change. It sets a default config that was wrong to one that matches 
+    the default path - it only affects the release command.
+    Only if people manually modified the code the update (as with any 
+    modification to non conffile) throw away their changes - not a 
+    regression to stop this IMHO.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * n/a
+ 
+ ---
+ 
  In amavisd-release $socketname is set to '/var/amavis/amavisd.sock';
  by default.
  
  please fix it to the correct /var/lib/amavis/amavisd.sock
  
  after fixing to /var/lib/amavis/amavisd.sock amavsid-release works
  again.
  
- 
  we did upgrade from 16.04 LTS ->18.04 LTS before we run into the bug.
