For a on tech-savvy user this is difficult to diagnose
possibly exim4.template.conf should contain:

av_scanner = clamd:/run/clamav/clamd.ctl

Debian Policy requires that /var/run be a symlink to /run, so that change should make no difference.

I would like to point out that a clean buster install does not create the symlink, so the change would make a difference.

I feel that a package should not depend on erratic behavior elsewhere in the system. Clamd-daemon uses /run not /var/run exim should reflect that change.

Ultimately a new user installing buster runs into this problem. Whether this is fixed in exin, clamd or debian installer is metter for debate. should i report this elsewhere?
