dpkg-reconfigure for clamav-daemon creates loop

[Chris Willey]

Attempting to configure ClamAV v0.100 on Ubuntu 16.04 by running 'sudo dpkg-configure clamav-daemon'. At a point in the questionnaire, the process gets stuck in a loop between two questions:

"Delay in seconds between daemon self checks"
and
"Maximum size of a ZIP file to reanalyze type recognition"

Nothing I do will break this loop, and I end up having to close and reopen my connection to the server (SSH). I am able to run clamd by manually editing clamd.conf, but would prefer to have this setup automatically.

Thanks.

Confirmed:
    "MaxScriptNormalize")
    StateGeneric low clamav-daemon/MaxScriptNormalize MaxZipTypeRcg MaxHTMLNoTags
    ;;
    "MaxZipTypeRcg")
    StateGeneric low clamav-daemon/MaxZipTypeRcg SelfCheck MaxScriptNormalize
    ;;
    "SelfCheck")
    StateGeneric low clamav-daemon/SelfCheck MaxZipTypeRcg
    ;;
    "User")
    StateUser

I think the SelfCheck case should be fixed to this (untested):
    "SelfCheck")
    StateGeneric low clamav-daemon/SelfCheck User MaxZipTypeRcg

Bionic and Cosmic are also affected.
