Package: src:clamav
Severity: wishlist
Version: 0.103.5+dfsg-1
Dear maintainers of clamav,
I am currently working on a project where clamav gets installed and
configured via FAI. The FAI installation collects and error from the
clamav-base's postinst script:
```
[...]
Setting up clamav-base (<version>)
id: 'clamav': no such user
[...]
```
It would be cool to have this non-error silenced in
clamav-base.postinst. Patch attached.
Mike
