Bug Description

Binary package hint: clamav

Used Klamav to upgrade clamav to 0.90.3 some time ago for ~/user. Now with the current 0.91.1 installed via the packaging system, freshclam says:

freshclam daemon 0.91.1 (OS: linux-gnu, ARCH: i386, CPU: i486)
ClamAV update process started at Fri Aug 3 22:30:23 2007
WARNING: Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!
WARNING: Local version: 0.90.3 Recommended version: 0.91.1
DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq

Note that the freshclam daemon version and the recommended version are the same.

Manually removing the clamav copy in /usr/local causes it to go away.

Please bump clamav to at least 0.69.1 and publish in Karmic updates repo. Probably the build for Lucid also compiles on Karmic.
