Sorry, on Kubuntu

From the information you've provided, It looks like you were trying to have klamav upgrade your clamav to the current version. I'm marking the bug invalid, but if my gueses here are incorrect, feel free to reopen the bug with additional information.

If you want to have klamav upgrade clamav and/or klamav, you need to have the build dependencies installed (I'm in the process of updating the Gutsy version of Klamav to describe this). You do that in Konsole using "sudo apt-get build-dep clamav klamav".

That said, if you are running Gutsy, the latest clamav is in the repositories. If you are on Feisty, it's available in feisty-backports. Since it's available from the repositories, you are better off to get it there as it has the latest Kubuntu specific patches that aren't present in the upstream version. If you are on Dapper/Edgy, the shipped clamav had a different interface than the current one and upgrading will likely break applications (such as Klamav) the use it. We are working on fixing this, but it takes a lot of testing.
