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:
Unit clamav-daemon.socket could not be found.
/var/log/clamav/clamav.log brings (when starting):

/var/log/clamav/clamav-milter.log brings (as the /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl is missing):

The permissions for /var/run/ is set for the user "clamav" and group "root". clamav is also the user who runs the process:
ps aux | grep clamav

I tried already to purge/install and also --reinstall clamav and clamav-daemon and I also tried a dpkg-reconfigure on clamav-daemon. 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!
