Why newcommer?
Good question. This tag is supposed to be added to bugs that can be
fixed by newcomers. (By chance this might even be true here.)
Justification: renders package unusable
Not unter normal circumstances. Atleast I hope so :)
Indeed, it works for most, so I'm reducing the severity.
I did a fresh Jessie install yesterday and installed clamav-daemon+clamav-
freshclam, clamav+clamav-freshclam, deinstalled those packages, reinstalled,
removed, deleted clamav subfolders many many times, to find something i did
wromg.
I am under the impression that atleast 2 should work on Jessie. But I will try
to re-test.
I can reproduce the second problem, but not the first.
Finally i found 2 things that stops freshclam working:
1) /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf has a bad HTTPProxyServer line so freshclam cant
connect.
I commented out the HTTPProxyServer line and freshclam was able to connect.
How did that line get in there? Did you enter something or did it get there on
its own?
The clamav-freshclam package doesn't add a HTTPProxyServer line by default.
Can you elaborate what exactly you did to get this bad line there?
2) folder /var/lib/clamav was root:root and freshclam cant create files in this
folder.
I did a "chown clamav:clamav /var/lib/clamav" and clamav and freshclam starts
running fine. (At least it seems so :) ).
If I recall correctly then clamav-base should do this chown in its postinst.
It is also the one that adds the clamav user to /etc/passwd and so on… This
should have happen since otherwise "chown clamav:clamav" would not work.
I can reproduce this in a minimal jessie chroot with:
# apt install clamav-base
# apt remove clamav-base
# apt install clamav-base
This can be worked around with:
# apt purge clamav-base
# apt install clamav-base
The problem is that clamav-base.postinst calls chown only on fresh
installations. This should be easy to fix by moving the chown calls out
of the 'if [ -z "$2" ]'.
-- debconf information:
clamav-freshclam/http_proxy: �
this looks strange. But it is not your doing, right?
It seems the debconf setting is corrupted, which is really strange.
Best regards,
Andreas
