Bug#996971: systemd: clamav service units fail with StandardOutput=syslog

Package: systemd
Version: 247.3-6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


With the default clamav buster version, 103, the service unit field
StandardOutput is set to syslog in clamav-daemon.service and
clamav-freshclam.service.  This ends up causing the following type of
error messages...

systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Clam AntiVirus userspace daemon
being skipped.

which degrades the system performance significantly.

The field has been removed in clamav version 104 and an additional
message indicate that this field is problematic...

Oct 15 13:47:18 oct-test systemd[1]:
/lib/systemd/system/clamav-daemon.service:12:
Standard output type syslog is obsolete, automatically updating to
journal.
Please update your unit file, and consider removing the setting
altogether.

The only way to effectively address this problem appears to be removing
it from the service unit definition files under /lib. Using overrides
does not appear to correct this problem.
