Description of problem: The config file for /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf is borked. service clamd.amavisd start clamd.amavisd starten: ERROR: Parse error at line 2: Option LogSyslog requires boolean argument. service clamd.amavisd start clamd.amavisd starten: ERROR: Parse error at line 14: Option FixStaleSocket requires boolean argument. ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamd.d/amavisd.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.90.2-1 How reproducible: install current clamd and start service clamd.amavisd start Actual results: clamd.amavisd does not start Expected results: it should start :) Additional info:

I've been able to restart clamd.amavisd after setting up freshclam and /etc/freshclam. The daily.cvd file seems to have been corrupted, even though rpm -V clamav-update showed no errors. After replacing it using freshclam, clamd can start, and finally I can receive email again.
2.5.1-1.fc7 should be showing up in updates-testing soon. Could you give it a try for me?
2.5.2-0.1.rc2 will be in rawhide soon also.
amavisd-new-2.5.1-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
It appears to work so far. The other issue with clamav-data-0.90.2-1 probably deserves a bug report of its own.
(In reply to comment #6) > The other issue with clamav-data-0.90.2-1 probably > deserves a bug report of its own. I could be wrong, but that would probably get closed with NOTABUG. I think you need to run freshclam manually once to get clamd or clamscan to work properly. Again, I could be totally wrong about that though.
clamd should run without freshclam having to be run first. See bug 246151.
