Sorry, I opened this bug when I was tired. My apologies for the lack of detail.

I did a global upgrade, which is how I ended up in that situation. libclamav6 was held back. Seems obvious that the package needed to be upgraded but wasn't, but I was not thinking right at the time.

Seems like a simple oversight.

I would downgrade it to important. Scott?

Fails on start. I imagine this wasn't tested?
You imagine wrong. But this case in particular wasn't.

Setting up clamav-freshclam (0.98.5~rc1+dfsg-3) ...
[....] Starting ClamAV virus database updater: freshclamERROR: This tool 
requires libclamav with functionality level 79 or higher (current f-level: 77)
  failed!

This is a fresh install of clamav and clamav-freshclam after a dpkg purge.
Almost a complete purge:

ii  clamav-base            0.98.5~rc1+dfsg-3
ii  libclamav6             0.98.4+dfsg-2+b1
You have the old libclamav6 dangling around. If you do an "apt-get
upgrade" then it should be fixed.
We have depends on libclamav6 based on library functions / ABI. Now the
ABI remains unchanged but stops working. This was neither tested nor
expected.

I guess the simplest thing to do is to depend the whole clamav package
on the built version instead of versioned symbols like we now.
This check comes from check_flevel() and it is not exported so havp &
friends won't care about his.
Any comments?

Sebastian
