[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#942172: clamav-daemon: After upgrade, clamd cannon create /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl and stop.

[Filipe Fonseca]

Hello,

I did strike this in three boxes. Straight upgrade but opted not to touch 
config when asked. Don't know if it matters. However I did not find any 
reference to /etc/systemd/system/clamav-daemon.service.d/extend.conf in the 
package scripts as in stretch.

The chown did make the difference. And the extend.conf prior to the upgrade 
on further two boxes got the upgrade working, AFAICT.

Regards,
Filipe
