[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#626547: incorrect /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid owner set if clamav installed on system with HAL

[juan.r.d.silva]

Package: clamav
Version: 0.97+dfsg-2~squeeze1
Severity: important

If you install Clamav after HAL was installed on system, a file
/var/run/clamav/
freshclam.pid is created with root:haldaemon group:owner permissions and
the following error is generated after installation: "ERROR: Can't save
PID to file /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid: Permission denied"

But if you install Clamav on a fresh squeeze without HAL installed, the
ownership of the same file is root:clamav instead, and Clamav does
produce this error.
