[Friedemann Schorer]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: clamav
  
  Just upgraded to the latest version of clamav (0.96.5+dfsg-
  1ubuntu1~lucid1) from lucid-backports and had dpkg install the latest
- config file provided by the maintainer. now every time I try to start
+ config file provided by the maintainer. Now every time I try to start
  the service I get this:
  
  user at box:~$ sudo service clamav-daemon start
-  * Starting ClamAV daemon clamd                                                                                                              ERROR: LogFile requires full path.
+  * Starting ClamAV daemon clamd                                                                                                              ERROR: LogFile requires full path.
  Closing the main socket.
-                                                                                                                                       [fail]
+                                                                                                                                       [fail]
  
  OK, let's try to find what is specified:
  
  user at box:~$ grep LogFile /etc/clamav/*
  /etc/clamav/clamd.conf:LogFile 0
  [...]
  
  Looks like there's something not specified here...
  
  OK, let's try and see if setting a file removes the error:
  
  user at box:~$ grep LogFile /etc/clamav/*
  /etc/clamav/clamd.conf:LogFile /var/log/clamav/clamav.log
  
  I used the location of the existing file here.
