While scanning files with clamav 0.71-1, I got the following result:

The error message is new and what I am supposed to do with
/sw/etc/clamav.conf?

Here's the answer. If you look at /sw/etc/clamav.conf, you'll see:

##
## Example config file for the Clam AV daemon
## Please read the clamav.conf(5) manual before editing this file.
##


# Comment or remove the line below. Example ...

You need to comment out Example, like it says.

I've cc'ed the maintainer as well.  Maybe this should be noted in the
package description, or the edit performed automatically during the
build process.

Count my vote (FWIW) for noting this in the package description. That message was most likely put there by the author(s) of clamav to "encourage" users to examine clamav's output carefully and RTFM. IMO, fink should not circumvent that mechanism, but rather reinforce it.

I just updated clamav to the newest upstream release. I added a printout concerning the need to edit %p/etc/clamav.conf to the postinstall script. I guess this is more visible than a remark in the package description.


Thanks for pointing out the issue.

Cheers,
                Remi
