[SRU]

[Impact]

Bug shows up when user tries to upgrade any previous version of clamav
to the version which is currently available inside vivid repo. Apt
crashes with the following error message:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-daemon.postinst: 626: /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-daemon.postinst: cannot create : Directory nonexistent
dpkg: error processing package clamav-daemon (--install):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

This happens due to a typo inside postinst script. Variable $DEBCONFILE
is used incorrectly instead of $DEBCONFFILE (note double F) which leads
to generation of the incorrect output path.

This typo is on the path which gets executed only when debconf
information is available for the package. It means that the issue
doesn't show up during regular installation but crashes apt during
updates.

This issue is important because all clamav users will observe the issue
while upgrading from Utopic to Vivid.

[Test Case]

How to reproduce the issue and make sure that debdiff resolves it:

[Regression Potential]

Change is minor and fixes obvious issue. We can't avoid fixing it
because with this issue in place we won't be able to upgrade clamav in
the future (all vivid users will meet this issue if we upload an updated
package without this change).

[Original Description]

It looks like the location of the files is wrong in the installer.  Is
there an updated source perhaps?
