dpkg does nothandle any of the conffiles in the clamav suite. These options should have no effect. > # ls -l /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf This is unreproducable here. I manually added a username and password, and then did it via debconf. Both times, if there was a password present, the postinst chmod'ed the file to 0600. If there was no password, the postinst chmod'ed it 0644. Can I get the (munged) contents of your file? I would also appreciate it if you could edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-freshclam.config and /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-freshclam.postinst, and add set -x as the second line in the file (immediately below #!/bin/sh, in other words) and then send me the output of `dpkg-reconfigure clamav-freshclam` There will be a fair amount of output, so you may want to use script or something to capture all of it.
