Clamav-freshclam works fine under sysvinit and thus I'm reducing the 
severity of this bug.

In fact, this error message only appears when the init system is systemd 
and it is totally harmless in that case.

If you want to get rid of this message, you can remove the PidFile line 
from /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf.
However, be warned that if you do this, clamav-freshclam won't start 
anymore with sysvinit as PID 1.

Best regards,
Andreas
