Package: clamav-base
Version: 0.91.2-1
Severity: normal

(severity normal as this bug just results in doing "nothing" on etch/sid
and only affects sarge backports critically)

Found while doing a backport of the latest clamav package to Debian Sarge:

In the post-install script of clamav-base (line 446, or line 350 of
debian/clamav-base.postinst.in) there is one usage of $dbowner, which
is defined nowhere:

    if [ -d "$DatabaseDirectory"/"$db".inc ]; then
      chmod 0755 "$DatabaseDirectory"/"$db".inc
      chown "$dbowner" "$DatabaseDirectory"/"$db".inc
    fi

On Debian Etch/Unstable this chown call is simply ignored, 
'chown "" something' just does nothing. But executing the same on Debian
Sarge results in an error 'chown: `': cannot omit both user and group',
aborting the postinst script.

Replacing this $dbowner with $user seems to be what is really wanted.
