Bug 565716 – app-antivirus/clamav-0.98.7-r1 - services start with wrong permissions and without RuntimeDirectory

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dennis Schridde 2015-11-13 21:16:10 UTC]

freshclamd bails out upon start from the systemd unit file with following message in the logs:
```
ERROR: Can't save PID to file /run/clamav/freshclam.pid: No such file or directory
```

Following patch fixes this:

The same also applies to the clamd.service file.

Sorry, I have no idea about systemd as I don't use it myself, but patches welcome ;)
