Beware of breaking ClamAV-daemon when you update Debian
Beware of breaking ClamAV-daemon when you update Debian
After update Debian 8.5, clamav-daemon has failed to start on all servers.
I edited /etc/clamav/clamd.conf and comment
Also, fix permissions:
At the end, start clamav:
Not sure if commenting 'AllowSupplementaryGroups' will break something other, but I don't see other option right now.
I searched the net, nobody knows what is a substitution for this option.
If someone has better idea, please reply.

He said they fixed this bug on 06 Jun.
I noticed a bug on 29 Jun, with freshly updated and latest Debian.
I'm confused :)
However, they 'fixed' a bug by ignoring option, so, there is no better solution obviously.

Thank you very much! I've recovered my clamav by commenting this AllowSupplementaryGroups.

Today I also have problem: my clamav will not run!dpeca wrote: I edited /etc/clamav/clamd.conf and commentCode: Select all

After I used your trick ( I just set AllowSupplementaryGroups to "no" ), clamd runs properly!
Thank you.
