cannot create directory '/run/clamav': File exists

[Yamakasi]

The following happens on Ubuntu 17.04 after a successfull Puppetrun.

May 5 14:01:43 mailscan-02 mkdir[18384]: /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory '/run/clamav': File exists

Are you getting this in a log? What is the path to the log?

[Yamakasi]

I see this in /var/log/syslog

[edestecd]

I don't see that the module is managing that file anywhere.
Maybe were changing the default of something?
I'd do a diff on the deb provided default config vs the one this module makes... That may provide some insight

[Yamakasi]

OK, nice, I'm just testing this out of the blue, module itself looks nice!

[edestecd]

Any word on this? Still having issue?

I have been affected by this issue even though I'm not sure this is the right place to report it? It seems the clamav-daemon startup script on Ubuntu 18.04 creates the directory without checking if it exists first. A possible solution was:

diff --git a/systemd/system/clamav-daemon.service.d/extend.conf b/systemd/system/clamav-daemon.service.d/extend.conf
index a8f64eb..49319d5 100644

I doubt this file is provided or modified by the module. Can you run dpkg -S on the extend.conf file (full path)?

Just the same still on Debian 10. extend.conf requires -p
