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 attachment 111547 [details, diff] 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
