Bug Description

with the default installation issuing a "amavisd-release mail-id" will fail with the following error:

Can't connect to UNIX socket /var/lib/amavis/amavisd.sock: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/amavisd-release line 203.

in /usr/sbin/amavisd-release the $socketname variable points to:

/var/lib/amavis/amavisd.sock

but the socket resides in:

/var/run/amavis/amavisd.sock

Look in /etc/amavis/conf.d/25-amavis_helpers and see if $unix_socketname = "/var/run/amavis/amavis.sock"; - change it to $unix_socketname = "/var/lib/amavis/amavis.sock"; - this is now the default for the package. See Bug #199124 for details. As a guess, during the upgrade there was a prompt for config file changes and the old version was kept.

Changed in amavisd-new:
