Since upgrading to 0.102.1+dfsg-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 this past Wednesday
I'm seeing the above error in my syslog. I see the same error if I set
the temporary path to /var/tmp

clamd[25154]: LibClamAV Error: cli_gentempfd_with_prefix: Can't create
temporary file /var/tmp/clamav-f297c096fb16292e8547120761d949f3.tmp:
Permission denied

Permissions for /var/tmp are 
drwxrwxrwt  13 root root     12288 Jan 10 19:26 tmp

and for /var/lib/clamav
drwxrwxr-x  3 clamav        clamav        4096 Jan 10 18:04 clamav

Any suggestions?
