Public bug reported: After installing amavisd-new and clamav-daemon clamav fails with the error: ClamAV-clamd av-scanner FAILED: CODE(0x36ab6c8) unexpected , output="/var/lib/amavis/tmp/amavis-20160923T095247-01779-3L04SPou/parts: lstat() failed: Permission denied. ERROR\n" at (eval 100) line 905.
clamav user is in the amavis group and the permission on that dir are: drwxr-x--- 3 amavis amavis 4096 Sep 23 09:52 amavis- 20160923T095247-01779-3L04SPou For a workaround I used the suggestion here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/604446/how-to-fix-amvavis-reporting-permission-denied-for-clamav Edited /etc/clamav/clamd.conf and changed AllowSupplementaryGroups false to true I believe this is one of the typical use case scenario for clamav-daemon so this option should be included by default. To me this also seems to be the expected behavior by default (if the user the daemon is run as is in groups allowing access I'd assume it has that access). I don't understand why this is an option and not default behavior. I'm unsure of whether Debian plans to deprecate/remove the AllowSupplementaryGroups configuration option moving forward. If done, it will break clamav-daemon - avamisd-new integration as is done currently. I point this out to prevent future issues. Thanks for the great work, I hope this helps. ** Affects: clamav (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628275 Title: ClamAV-clamd av-scanner FAILED: CODE(0x36ab6c8) unexpected , output="/var/lib/amavis/tmp/amavis- 20160923T095247-01779-3L04SPou/parts: lstat() failed: Permission denied.
