Archdevs,

   Is this a new bug or config issue? Beginning 9/15, I receive a new cron error:

error: stat of /var/log/clamav/clamd.log failed: No such file or directory

   But the file is there:

$ l /var/log/clamav/clamd.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 0 Aug 30  2015 /var/log/clamav/clamd.log


The wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ClamAV doesn't mention the
issue, so is this a bug? If so, upstream or here?



I have to think this is something you're triggering yourself. ClamAV doesn't seem to ship with any cron jobs. (See "pacman -Ql clamav | grep cron") So this must be either a cron job you've added yourself, or some old one that's left hanging around.

As far as the clamd log file, I think it's normal to be empty if you're not running clam as a daemon. That's how mine is:

$ ls -l /var/log/clamav/clamd.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 clamav clamav 0 May  5  2013 /var/log/clamav/clamd.log

Only other remaining explanations I could offer are:

* The drive that /var/log/clamav is on is damaged and unreadable. (See if you see any errors in either dmesg or /var/log/messages)

* You have a permissions issue on either /var/log/clamav, /var/log, or /var, whereby the user running the cronjob doesn't have read or execute permissions to one of those directories.

HTH,
