As soon as a friend sends the 10.2 CD's from overseas - ever tried
downloading the three ISO's via a congested 64 Kbps satellite link ? -
I'll do a complete re-install.

I came in at about 0400 this morning and did a complete re-install of
the machine with 10.0 again.  Mail-ClamAV-0.17.tar.gz installed with 
absolutely no problems this time.  I must have screwed something badly 
with the original install.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the 'heads up' and I have upgraded.  Just as well I run 
Bitdefender in parallel.
