[SOLVED] Clam-av errors reported since last update

[fatbob]

Hi Folks

I applied all the latest updates on Saturday (2013-03-23) and since then Anacron as been mailing me the following errors:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: clamav-daemon:1 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes)
error: clamav-daemon:10 unexpected }
error: found error in file clamav-daemon, skipping

Any ideas?

Yes, this was broken in zentyal, then fixed for a while, and now it appears to be broken again. The problem is the config file /etc/logrotate.d/clamav-daemon has been mangled. What I did to fix was:

* Change the first line to be "/var/log/clamav/clamav.log {"
* Change the create line to be "create 640 clamav clamav"

I also changed the create line in /etc/logrotate.d/clamav-freshclam to match

Great thanks

Have you raised a ticket for this? If not I don't mind doing it.

Cheers

Nope, go for it. There is also a related issue with freshclam that has to do with the clamav log file permissions, but the create line changes also fixes that issue as well.

Raised Case #6363

[Javier Amor Garcia]

Sorry, but this is a bug of the clamav package itself. This file is not touched by zentyal so if it was fixed and now is broken, it must be for a upgrade of clamav.

I have reported it upstream, but it odes not seem to have caught much attention:

Yeah no worries Javier as long as it's reached the right people. Not a serious issue for me anyway
