[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#830482: clamav-freshclam: duplicate logging with systemd

[Marki]

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

Dear Maintainer,

freshclam is configured to log to its logfile by itself (UpdateLogFile).
However systemd unit file (as shipped with jessie) runs freshclam in
foreground and redirects its stdout to syslog.

This causes the log to go both to configured UpdateLogFile and to
/var/log/syslog.

Don't know if freshclam prints anything useful to stdout which isn't also in
logfile. If not, then maybe configure systemd unit to ignore stdout and
redirect only stderr to syslog.
