[Bug 732645] Re: package clamav-freshclam 0.96.5 dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Imre Gergely]

It seems like for example the /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log file is
created by default (by .postinst script) with the 'adm' group.

root at utest-mms32:/var/lib/dpkg/info# grep adm clamav-freshclam.postinst 
      echo "     create 640  $User adm" >> $DEBROTFILE
      chown "$User":adm "$udlogfile"
  chown "$dbowner":adm $FRESHCLAMLOGFILE
  chown "$dbowner":adm $FRESHCLAMCONFFILE

But the 'adm' group should exist by default, it's not created by any
clamav package. Possibly it was removed from that system, or something
else happened outside clamav. I don't think this is a clamav bug (or
maybe it is in the sense of .postinst script assuming - and not checking
- there is an 'adm' group).

@Ron: please check what happened to the 'adm' group.

** Changed in: clamav (Ubuntu)
