Package: clamav-daemon
Version: 0.99.2+dfsg-0+deb8u1
Severity: serious
Hi Maintainer,
The version in the main Debian Stable archive (so not in the additional
jessie-updates) has the option AllowSupplementaryGroups removed (see
#822444), which prevents the program from starting when this option is
present in the configuration file:
clamd[27916]: ERROR: Parse error at line 12: Unknown option
AllowSupplementaryGroups
clamd[27916]: ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
I had to set this option to be able to use clamav with postfix on my
incoming mail servers, and I should not expect them to stop processing
mail because of stable updates.
Updates of packages in Debian Stable must never break existing
installations by changing APIs (configuration file considered being some
kind of API).
At least make the option deprecated and ignore it with a warning if set,
and only make it disappear when upgrading to Stretch.
Thanks,
