Package: clamav
Version: 1.4.6+dfsg-1
Severity: minor
The systemd services "clamav-freshclam.service" and
"clamav-freshclam-once.service" are conflicting. At every boot one or
the other will end up in "systemctl --failed" until I manually restart
it. The error one of them run into is as follows:
ERROR: Failed to lock the log file /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log:
Resource temporarily unavailable
I suspect these are not supposed to be enabled at the same time, so I'd
suggest that the package post-upgrade script should disable one of them
if both are found to be enabled.
As a workaround, I disabled "...-once" on my system, but I would
appreciate input in what the right approach should be.
Best Regards,
