I usually cannot find any dmesg entry for this problem. ONE time I did see one
and the complaint was about permissions for opening the log file in append
mode. The logfile's owner and the executer of clamd is "clamav" and the
file;s permissions (rw r . )look fine.
I originally thought that it tries to append the file, fails, logrotate moves
it away and a new file can be created successfully. This is not the case
since this log is rotated one per week!
