Clam module broken after main.cvd update

[James Fagan]

Just saw this myself will try your fix. Thanks.

Hi!

We have seen several servers barfing due to a broken clamlib after a 
update of freshclam.

Tonight clamav released a new main.cvd, when this happened the update 
files were placed inside subdirs, this is part of the new clamav update 
scheme.

Mailscanner however dont take this and will report:

This will give defuncts on all your MS processes.

The behaviour is only with 0.9x so be aware you will for sure see your 
incomming queue raise till you manually fix this.

On my system clam created dirs like:

/usr/local/share/clamav/daily.inc

I removed all inside /usr/local/share/clamav/ (all subdirs also) and did
a 
freshclam. Now the main.cvd remains in the main dir again and its going 
again.

This is most likely a temp fix till someone fixes MS to detect this. ;)

If you see the above behaviour, or wonder why your MS is defuncting all 
off the sudden, you know what to do....

Bye,
Raymond.
