Got rid of most of the install errors, now have exec error. The install error started with the user clamav already existing, which gave dpkg a tummy ache. Then freshclam complained about no perms in /var/lib/clamav, so I did a sudo chown clamav:adm in that directory to fix the uid after removing clamav with userdel and re-creating the user. Freshclam now happy. But now it appears my procmail recipe is foobared. None of the options I was passing clamdscan were legit according to the man pages. So where do I find a suitable procmail recipe to use todays versions of clamav in a call/return similar to the spamassassin stanza's in my .procmailrc? And in checking clamd for the PING/PONG, it fails because it cannot log. Who, and what perms are supposed to own the /var/log/clamav tree? Thanks.
