This USED to work in previous Ubuntu/clamd version, now it no longer works. So, I'm trying to figure out why it's not working and if I should bring this up in the appropriate Ubuntu forum.

if the unit is not written by you, comes from Ubuntu and now stopped
working guess what: you should have contacted the appropriate Ubuntu
forum to start with

i just pointed out that i am suprised after that many years that one
still don't know about /run and how to handle it properly and frankly:
when you don#t undertsan dthe "directory already exists" message and ask
here insetad jump on the packager with did this bullshit and *pretty
clear* did even not try to restart his damned unit a single time how
should one help you?
