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

thanks for your answer.

After further investigations, I have found a probable cause for this issue:
debian/patches/clamd_dont_depend_on_clamav_demon_socket.patch was
mistakenly backported from the stretch upload.

This should not have been backported, because the jessie package is still
providing the systemd socket, which was removed from the stretch package in
0.99.2+dfsg-3 because of #824042[0].

I did not backport this removal because I considered it too intrusive for a
security upload. Looking back, this was maybe a mistake because it
increased the complexity of the backport.

I have prepared a regression update addressing this issue. It would be a
true benefit for the quality of this upload if somebody could give it a try
before I go on with uploading. You can find (UNRELEASED) amd64 builds,
signed by myself on my Debian webpage:
