Error with Sophos install

[Norm Yates]

I'm using wget-1.7-3

What could have changed from 4.21 to 4.28 that - update_virus_scanners
-would not work with my RH 7.2 distro????

            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Have you got /usr/bin/wget on your system and/or do you need to use a
proxy to access the web?

(Julian - any chance of updating the error message since you changed
from using lynx to wget?)
