Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

[Sérgio Faria (sergio91pt)]

I'm sorry. Please ignore my previous comment, wrong bug.

[Sérgio Faria (sergio91pt)]

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

Ok I've linked my branch. Is there any way of checking whether it really does need 'curl' or not?

[Sérgio Faria (sergio91pt)]

sure, try this:
sudo apt-get remove curl && sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install clamav-getfiles
dpkg-query -W curl

If the install failed, then test again with curl

[Aditya V (kroq-gar78)]

Ok, yeah, it does need 'curl'. I'll link my lucid branch (package isn't in Precise, strangely...).

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I've fixed up the bug metadata to take account of the removal from precise.

clamav-getfiles | 2.0-6 | lucid/universe | source, all
clamav-getfiles | 2.0-6 | maverick/universe | source, all
clamav-getfiles | 2.0-6 | natty/universe | source, all
clamav-getfiles | 2.0-6 | oneiric/universe | source, all

It seems odd to fix this in only lucid but not also apply the same fix to maverick, natty, and oneiric. This will require four similar uploads with slightly different versions. Would you mind preparing and (if you can; schroot might help) testing them? Note that you will have to be careful with the versions:

[Aditya V (kroq-gar78)]

This isn't a security update, right? Also, what do I do about the versioning (changelog-wise)? Do I up the Ubuntu version by 1 or .1 (as the link you provided recommends)

[Aditya V (kroq-gar78)]

Also, how would I go about testing this in non-Precise versions (I'm on Precise)? Also, should I submit this to Debian?

[Fabrice Coutadeur (fabricesp)]

Hi,

The link that Colin gave before details the versioning rule to apply to fix a package in a released version. This apply for Security as well as any other SRU.

To test this, you could use a chroot to install older versions of Ubuntu. You can find help at that url: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot

And this package has been removed also from Debian (as you can see at that URL: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav-getfiles/+changelog ), so it's of no use to report the bug to Debian (and I'm wondering if this is worth fixing it as people upgrading to Precise won't have the issue).

Thanks for your work!

Fabrice

Un-assigning from Maverick since it's now unsupported. I'll get to work on this soon.
