so there is no /var/spool/qscan.

If I read the setup correctly, this dir is set in qmail-scanner-queue.pl in the
$scandir, $configdir and $logdir variables which AFAIK are not overridden by
any config file.

In previous versions this was set to /var/spool/qmailscan which is also
provided and set up correctly by the ebuild.

My qmail-scanner ebuild is the modified ebuild according to Bug #134826 but I
don't think the patch from there has anything to do with this.

I have same problem since few hours, when I upgraded my ~x86 system from
mail-filter/qmail-scanner-1.25-r1 to mail-filter/qmail-scanner-2.01.


Simple attempt to do:

# cd /var/spool/
# ln -s qmailscan qscan

doesn't help. as I get immediately yet another error:

@4000000044874bc41cd7145c X-Qmail-Scanner-2.01st:[vrapenec11497174347678228]
cannot open /var/spool/qscan/quarantine-events.db - No such file or directory

I unmerged the new qmail-scanner and emerged the previous version 1.25-r1. I am
puzzled with this output from the emerge process. I guess the ebuild file has
been partly updated to reflect new paths but it was not finished carefully. The 
/var/spool/qscan/ directory does not exist and qmail-scanner-queue.pl -z does
not create it either!


[...]
Remember to copy quarantine-attachments.txt to /var/spool/qmailscan and then
run "qmail-scanner-queue.pl -g" to generate DB version.

X-Qmail-Scanner-2.01st:[] cannot open
/var/spool/qscan/qmail-scanner-queue-version.txt - did you initialise the
system by running "qmail-scanner-queue.pl -z"? - No such file or directory
[...]

Same here.

I fixed this problem in a rather ugly way with an

# ln -s /var/spool/qmailscan /var/spool/qscan

for now, but there should be a more lasting solution. Obviously, the configure
script ignores the --spooldir setting and in spite configures
qmail-scanner-queue.pl for /var/spool/qscan

Weird!

I confirm this issue.

I've installed qmail-scanner-2.01 to work with netqmail-1.05-r3 and it puked
about 2 error lines upon installation. It didn't run because it expects to find
/var/spool/qscan but the ebuild creates /var/spool/qmailscan.

After creating the missing files and giving proper permissions AND changing
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl to have:

my $scandir = '/var/spool/qmailscan';
my $configdir = '/var/spool/qmailscan';
my $logdir = '/var/spool/qmailscan';

I would suggest linking this bug to bug #82718 and to build a joint fix.

Created an attachment (id=111547) [edit]
qmail-scanner-2.0.1-fix

this patch fix all problems reported in this bugreports.

to QMAIL TEAM: please apply the patch into the portage branch as soon as
possible because qmail-scanner 1.25-r1 do not work any more with the last
qmail/clamav stable version and people that use qmail/courier-imap email server
have a totaly broken box.

Can someone please give this issue some loving?

I just got bitten by it AGAIN when I did the qmail --> netqmail thing.

IIRC the qmail removal is scheduled for mid-April - presumably more people will
stumble over this at that point.

Should be fixed in 2.01-r1. Thanks
