The problem is at least one of the packagers for clamd/amavisd-new blindly overrides the path to clamd.sock by overwriting the config file leaving the two out-of-sync (and so unable to function). It is easily fixed by resetting the path - but you do have to watch out for it on upgrades. -- Benjamin Franz
