I am trying to install the package claws-mail-clamd-plugin
debian wheezy: claws-mail-clamd-plugin (3.8.1-2)
debian stretch: claws-mail-clamd-plugin (3.14.1-3 and others)
I installed claws-mail-clamd-plugin:amd64 (3.14.1-3+b1) from from
devuan repos
#apt-cache policy claws-mail-clamd-plugin
claws-mail-clamd-plugin:
Installed: 3.14.1-3+b1
Candidate: 3.14.1-3+b1
Version table:
*** 3.14.1-3+b1 500
500 http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
But it also needs clamav-daemon, and here started my woes.
(1)
Start-Date: 2018-02-19 16:39:34
Commandline: apt-get install clamav-daemon
Install: clamav-daemon:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1), clamdscan:amd64
(0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1, automatic) End-Date: 2018-02-19 16:40:12
The configuration automatically used a systemd overide to
write /etc/clamav/clamd.conf
(2)
From /usr/share/doc/clamav-daemon/README.gz
[...]
ClamAV 0.99.2 is a release of bug fixes and minor enhancements.
[...]
- systemd support for clamd and freshclam. Patch provided by
Andreas Cadhalpun.
[...]
So i tried to reconfigure it:
(3)
# dpkg-reconfigure clamav-daemon
[ ok ] Stopping ClamAV daemon: clamd.
Configuring clamav-daemon
-------------------------
Some options must be configured for clamav-daemon.
The ClamAV suite won't work if it isn't configured. If you do not
configure it automatically, you'll have to
configure /etc/clamav/clamd.conf manually or run 'dpkg-reconfigure
clamav-daemon' later. In any case, manual changes in [More]
/etc/clamav/clamd.conf will be respected.
Handle the configuration file automatically? [yes/no] no
Replacing config file /etc/clamav/clamd.conf with new version

[FAIL] Please edit /etc/clamav/clamd.conf and run
'/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon start' ... failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript
clamav-daemon, action "start" failed.
So i tried to remove it and start again

This automatically reinstalls the systemd configuration
to /etc/clamav/clamd.conf; my attempts to reconfigure dpkg just reenter
the loop at (3). And to make a bad situation worse, removing the
claws-mail-clamd-plugin (3.14.1-3 and others) with a view to replacing
it with the (3.8.1-2) apt-get wants to uninstall claws-mail itself.
So two things: one, is there an apt-get switch that will block the
preconfiguring and allow configuration of the native clamd.conf; and
two, does this systemd configuration belong in a devuan package.
Sorry for the long post, i hope that the above audit trail may be of
some use.
Many thanks
