It writes several temp files to /var/lib/clamav, and then calls ucf for a merge, followed by a (hopefully) chmod on the conffile if need be. The files that end up as conf files are /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf, /etc/logrotate.d/clamav-freeshclam, and (maybe) /var/lib/clamav/interfaces (I think) - that last is a hack addon for people who need to run freshclam from if-up.d, and probably should be in /etc/clamav. > > Can I get the (munged) contents of your file? > If I had made a backup of the conffile before, sure. :| > As it stands now, with me being unable to reproduce the problem either, > I don't think either the configfile or the output of dpkg-reconfigure > will help much at this point. > > I can install a fresh machine with an old version, following our update > path here and see if the problem surfaces again. But this will be after > the weekend. Please let me know how it goes. I am totally confused by this repotr, as I have never seen that very simple block of code blow up. Is there anything strange about the shell on that system (i.e., is it posh or ksh or something)? There may be a lurking XSI'ism blowing up, but that's all I can think of. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
