A bug in mcafee-autoupdate ?

[Denis Beauchemin]

<x-flowed>
I don't know if this is a bug but this not what I have here in 
/usr/local/uvscan :
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           26 jui 16 08:47 clean.dat -> 
datfiles/current/clean.dat
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           29 jui 16 08:47 internet.dat -> 
datfiles/current/internet.dat
-r--r--r--    1 root     root         1056 jui 16 08:41 license.dat
-r--r--r--    1 root     root        38154 jui 16 08:41 messages.dat
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           26 jui 16 08:47 names.dat -> 
datfiles/current/names.dat
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           25 jui 16 08:47 scan.dat -> 
datfiles/current/scan.dat

Just replace the dat files in /usr/local/uvcsan with symlinks and you'll 
be all set.
