[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#750942: clamav-freshclam: Cron update setting creates logrotate mail spam

[Matthew Gabeler-Lee]

Package: clamav-freshclam
Version: 0.98.4~rc1+dfsg-3
Severity: normal

If freshclam is set to update via cron, then there is no freshclam pid (but
the init script always creates an empty pid file), and thus I get an email
every day, thus:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
pkill: pidfile not valid
Try `pkill --help' for more information.

Because the logrotate script calls "/etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam reload-log
>/dev/null", which calls pkill pointing at the empty (and thus invalid) pid
/file.
