[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#835293: Clamav: Log file shows: ERROR: Can't save PID in file /var/run/clamd.pid

Package: clamav
Version: 0.99.2+dfsg-0+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I installed /clamav-daemon/ without problems but when trying to get it 
to connect to /TCP:3310/ by adding the following lines:

     TCPSocket 3310
     TCPAddr localhost (or using 127.0.0.1)

into '//etc/clamav/clamd.conf/' and restarting with '/service 
clamav-daemon restart/', and then using '/netstat -tap | grep clam/' 
there was no output. I then
tried adding in:

     PidFile /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid

and restarting again. Still no TCP socket was created but the 
'/var/log/clamav.log/' shows:

     ERROR: Can't save PID in file /var/run/clamd.pid
     ERROR: Can't unlink the pid file /var/run/clamd.pid

I had expected the addition of the first two lines to create the first 
of these files:

/var/run/clamav/clamd.pid
/var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid

but neither exist. The outpur of '/ls -l /var/run/' | grep clam/' after 
I modifed the permissions is:

drwxrwxrwx  2 root        root          60 Aug 24 10:30 clamav

Looking at the configuration automatically included below I see:

PidFile disabled

but that is not what is in my '//etc/clamav/clamd.conf/':

grep -rnw . -e "PidFile"
./clamd.conf:6:#PidFile /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid

and line 6 is:

PidFile /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid

I am unsure if my inability to get a TCP socket is related to the error 
in the log file. I can use clamscan without issues at the 
'//var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl/' exists

Thanks.
