Hello Stephen,

Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-base.postinst, and change #!/bin/sh to
#!/bin/sh -x. Then run dpkg-reconfigure clamav-base and send me the
output. This should have been handled automatically, but I would like
to see what went wrong.
Hey, I didn't know about /var/lib/dpkg/info so far. Guess I
should try to get around to reading that Debian policy...
I had a look through the postinst script, then tried to
reconstruct what probably happened here. Then I stopped all
the services and tried the following:
==== Begin ====
quantum3:~# rmdir /var/run/clamav
quantum3:~# apt-get install --reinstall clamav-base

So after a supposedly "fresh" install of clamav-base,
permissions were incorrect.
I added the trace option to the postinst script and ran
it:
==== Begin ====
quantum3:~# dpkg-reconfigure clamav-base
+ set -e
+ DATABASEDIR=/var/lib/clamav
+ RUNDIR=/var/run/clamav
+ LOGDIR=/var/log/clamav
+ '[' -z 0.82-1 ']'
+ '[' -e /etc/clamav/clamd.conf ']'
+ clamconf=/etc/clamav/clamd.conf
+ '[' -f /etc/aliases -o -L /etc/aliases ']'
+ grep -qi '^clamav' /etc/aliases
+ '[' -n /etc/clamav/clamd.conf ']'
++ grep '^User ' /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
++ awk '{print $2}'
+ user=clamav
+ '[' -z clamav ']'
++ grep '^PidFile ' /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
++ awk '{print $2}'
+ run=/var/run/clamav/clamd.pid
+ '[' -n /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid ']'
++ dirname /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid
+ rundir=/var/run/clamav
++ grep '^DatabaseDirectory ' /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
++ awk '{print $2}'
+ data=/var/lib/clamav/
+ '[' -n /var/lib/clamav/ ']'
+ datadir=/var/lib/clamav/
++ grep '^LogFile ' /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
++ awk '{print $2}'
+ log=/var/log/clamav/clamav.log
+ '[' -n /var/log/clamav/clamav.log ']'
++ dirname /var/log/clamav/clamav.log
+ logdir=/var/log/clamav
+ '[' /var/run/clamav = /var/run/clamav -a /var/lib/clamav/ = /var/lib/clamav
-a /var/log/clamav = /var/log/clamav ']'
+ exit 0
===== End =====
No mention of a "chown" in there. Looks like the test
in line 85 failed because DatabaseDirectory in
"/etc/clamav/clamd.conf" is set to "/var/lib/clamav/"
-- which is not equal to "/var/lib/clamav".
The conf file's first line reads:
#Automatically Generated by clamav-daemon postinst
and I'm pretty sure I didn't touch it.
Cheers, Marcus
