You have to use "the old" init scripts which are no longer part of the
package. The "new" ones depend on pkill in wheezy+

embedded llvm. The split-tarball.sh script and uscan are purging it currently…

the functions is defined as
	int ftruncate(int fd, off_t length);
so with off_t beeing 64bit there have to be to ftruncate() functions on
i386. So this looks like something in libclamav is still not doing what
it should. I will check this…

Yes. I wanted to only fix the lintian bugs and then align the version.

lintian marked it red. I assuemd there are "many" untranslated.
