Can you tell me why 0.98.1 creates a new user

 clamav:x:496:497:Clam Anti Virus Checker:/var/clamav:/sbin/nologin

as opposed to 0.98's

 clam:x:497:498:Clam Anti Virus Checker:/var/lib/clamav:/sbin/nologin

This has caused us some issues...

Ben,

Package creates a user. It does not specify UID nor GID, see
https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/blob/b69e2f6ac5c334abf382bbc579d0ccc84ff9a8ff/specs/clamav/clamav.spec#L289.
See also the last commit diff, there's no change with the user:
https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/commit/b69e2f6ac5c334abf382bbc579d0ccc84ff9a8ff

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the package had chosen specific UIDs and GIDs. However, why the package did not use the preexisting user and created a new one with a different name is what puzzles me.
