** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  There appears to be another issue with
  > dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon
  
  Like in #1792051, the command ends up in an infinite loop, just that
  this time it happens between 'Log file for clamav-daemon' and 'Do you
  want to enable log rotation?', with one more step between also included
  in the loop.
  
  Purged and reinstalled the package with no effect.
  
  Effected package: clamav-daemon 0.102.1+dfsg-0ubuntu0.19.10.2 (arm64)
  
  EDIT: I was able to reproduce the error on a different system (also
  0.102.1+dfsg-0ubuntu0.19.10.2, just amd64 instead)
  
  [Test Case]
  
  (1)
  
  Here's how to reproduce:
  * Deploy Bionic
  * Install clamav clamav-daemon
  
  (As a debug exercise and confirmation of the infinite loop in action,
  with the use of "export DEBCONF_DEBUG='.*'" one can confirm it.)
  
  * Perform:
  DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBCONF_NONINTERACTIVE_SEEN=true 
dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon
+ 
+ Make sure it completes fine and doesn't enter an infinite loop.

  (2)
  
  Run "dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon", make sure all of the debconf
  prompts that are supposed to be there are actually reachable, including
  the one modified by this SRU "LogTime"[0] and "LogRotate"[1].
  
  [0]- Do you want to log time information with each message?
  [1]- Do you want to enable log rotation?
  
  Here's a test where I intentionally reconfigure the package and set both
  LogTime and LogRotate from 'yes' (true) to 'No' (False).
  
  # egrep "LogRotate|LogTime" /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
  LogRotate true
  LogTime true
  
  # dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon
  Replacing config file /etc/clamav/clamd.conf with new version
  Disabling old logrotate script for clamav-daemon
  
  # egrep "LogRotate|LogTime" /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
  LogRotate false
  LogTime false
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Right now, the impact is limited to the reconfiguration of the package.
  This is a consequence of the removal of ScanOnAcces (701f0e8e Remove
  ScanOnAccess).
  
  It's been proven to be working well pre-SRU.
  
  If a regression is found, it will likely remain limited to the package
  reconfiguration.
  
  I added another verification to address vorlon's concern found in
  comment #16. See section (2) in [Test Case].
