What version of ucf do you have installed? ucf of a recent version shouldn't hang with --debconf-ok, but I may have to grab a newer version for my backport tree to make sure this doesn't happen. > i think it was that i had changed a config file that led to it not > working. > after i had run the command manually and ran dpkg --configure -a, > the clamav init script was complaining about StreamSaveToDisk not > being a recognized option, > which i then commented out, > so i must have missed something by running ucf manually... > my /etc/clamav/ dir now has a clamd.conf, clamd.conf.dpkg-dist and > clamav.conf.dpkg-old, > so it looks like there was at least a config file renaming between > versions. clamav.conf got renamed to clamd.conf in the 0.8x series, yes.

No, unfortunately. You could look at the clamav logs to see what the previous version was - it gets logged at startup. > thanks, good luck So, this sounds very much like a ucf bug to me so far. Let me know what version you have installed, and I'll try to work out if there are any relevant changes since then. Also, can you keep the bug report in the cc? Hitting reply to all or the equivalent in your mail client will do so. Thanks, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
