[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#903005: stretch-pu: package clamav/0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb9u1

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
Tags: stretch
Severity: normal

0.100.0 clamav version had a few config options removed. This is covered
by postinst as long as the config is handled by debconf. If the user
makes changes manually then ucf ask the user to resolve it and if nothing happens
(during unattended-upgrades) then the old options remain set and clamav
refuses to start.
This was reported during the deb8 point upgrade. To avoid this during
the upcomming deb9 upgrade I hereby propose a patch to simply declare
the removed options as "deprecated" which results in a warning like
| clamd[8720]: WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option StatsTimeout at line 88
| clamd[8720]: WARNING: Ignoring deprecated option StatsPEDisabled at line 89

in the log file and clamav continues.

In terms of full disclosure: There is a yara regression within clamav
(that is if you use clamav-unofficial-sigs) as reported in #902899
yesterday. The bug has been reported on 16th April to
clamav-unofficial-sigs upstream (as per the forwarded link in BTS) and
nothing happend since. Give the freeze this weekend I don't think that
this will change for Stretch.
