Admin email keeps getting failed errors from freshclam

[Greg]

Running latest version 2.0.20, my admin email keeps getting an email with:

Subject: Cron root@mail /bin/freshclam

Body:

Freshclam exited with 50 exit code, trying to remove mirrors.dat and start freshclam again. Please see /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log if it fails again. Sun Nov 25 14:17:01 2018 -> !Can't change dir to /data/var/clamav

Every hour. :-\

Hi.. have you attempted removing the container and recreating it (keeping your data intact, or course) ??

[Greg]

Well, I think I did. As a workaround I've deleted the file /etc/cron.d/freshclam in my custom Dockerfile. That seems to have fixed it.

Kind hackish? But OTOH I've disabled ClamAV anyway so it doesn't matter.

Of course if there's a better way to fix this I'd love to know. :)

fix #515 missing /data/var/clamav directory
