Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Hi David. Thanks for taking the time to file this bug report. Your error message is this:

Setting up clamav-milter (0.97.3+dfsg-2.1ubuntu1) ...
 * /usr/sbin/clamav-milter already running
invoke-rc.d: initscript clamav-milter, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing clamav-milter (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This is odd as the "preinstall" script for clamav-milter stops the service to make sure this does not happen. If you stopped any upgrades or configuration half-way and rebooted, that might cause this.

Anyway, I don't see a bug we can address here, so I'm closing the report. If you have more information that might suggest otherwise, please feel free to re-open this bug report by changing the status back to New.

Changed in clamav (Ubuntu):
