Bug Description

When removing clamav with purge (like apt-get purge libclamav6 clamav-base clamav clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam), everything gets removed except /var/run/clamav, even if it's empty.
Note: fix bug #829944 first.

Attached patch might fix this, tested in Oneiric and it works (after manually removing freshclam.pid from /var/run/clamav).

This removal attempt (using rmdir) should be done in all postrm's. I'll include the thus completed version of Imre's patch in the Debian package.

Best,
Michael
