I installed clamav-daemon on Debian 11 and when I try to start it, it doesn't create the LocalSocket /var/run/clamd.ctl.
LocalSocket in my /etc/clamav/clamd.conf:
LocalSocket /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl
systemctl status clamav-daemon.service brings:

So, it seems everything to be fine. But: systemctl status clamav-daemon.socket brings:

/var/log/clamav/clamav.log brings (when starting):

And I also tried a clean reboot. Nothing changed the situation.
I have no idea what else I could try. Has anyone an idea? Thanks a lot!
