A bug in mcafee-autoupdate ?

Hi,

We are running MailScanner-4.31.6-1. I noticed that in the
mcafee-wrapper, MailScanner uses the dat files in the /usr/local/uvscan
directory. But mcafee-autoupdate only updates
/usr/local/uvscan/datfiles/current/. The maillog shows McAfee is
upgraded to 4287 but we are actually using a lower version. Is this a bug?

[root]# ls -l /usr/local/uvscan/datfiles/current/
