Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Am using Ubuntu 9.10
Using ClamTk Virus Scanner
Have successfully manually updated both GUI and virus definitions for some time but Antivirus engine is now out of date and needs updating through the software centre. Version currently used is 0.95.3 but there is now at least a version 0.96 available so the engine is reporting that it is out of date.
Not a very experienced user and try to avoid downloading software except directly through software centre and update manager. Was wondering if there were any plans to update the engine through the update centre?
Thanks
Jonathan

In Maverick, we have 0.96.1 of clamav in the archive. This is just one rev out from upstream (0.96.2).
Versions older than 0.94 however are being "obsoleted" for support for signature updates and support. Hence, I am suggesting this should become a sru issue for any supported distros we have clamav older than 95 that are still supported:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
On 15 April 2010 all ClamAV installations older than 0.95 will be disabled. See http:// www.clamav. net/eol- clamav- 094/ for more details.
This does not effect lucid, which is based on 0.96.1 also.
