Thanks. We are planning an early post-relase update due to some other
issues. I'll see what I can do to get this fixed too.

This one should be fixed in the package uploaded to the clamav PPA (version 0.95.1+dfsg-1ubuntu1+ppa2). Please test it if you can, and update this bugreport. This fix will probably appear in -updates after the Jaunty release.

And here's a guide on activating the PPA:

Confirmed that the init script is working as expected, no error messages, clamav-milter can be started/stopped.

I have found what I believe is one more bug in this version. For some
reason, after doing a clean install I wind up with / owned by the clamav
user. I don't know that this is a regression or an existing flaw, but
either way it's somewhat bad as it breaks ssh chroots (and maybe other
things...). I can open a new bug if necessary, but it would be nice to get
the fix into this release if possible.

Please open a new bug. There aren't changes in this sru that relate that,
so I'm confident it's not an sru regression.
