fixed this issue but now cannot extract blacklist states cannot find dir.

try to reapply the blacklist.

Check if clamav user exists on your system.

check if /usr/local/pkg/blacklist.tbz needs permission fix too.

after fixing all permissions, try a save config and see if it changes something.
then try a reboot to see if clamav users still exists.
