It seems like a disservice to turn off a purposeful warning, to me.
The point is that as a simple user I can't do *anything* about it. (granted, a more advanced user could recompile the package, but that requires a bit more knowledge than 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'). I have to suffer until the package maintainer uploads a new package. If the package maintainer is going to upload it anyway, why would I have to be bothered with messages from upstream? The message would make sense if clamav actually checked for new debian packages, but right now it is just annoying. Erik -- Erik Mouw [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
