ClamAV update

I see the problem !
By default, the install doesn't replace the files in /usr/lib/MailScanner !!

So, in /usr/lib/MailScanner, the files was too old :
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         1077 Dec  3  2002 clamav-autoupdate
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         2104 Apr  1  2006 
clamav-autoupdate.dpkg-dist
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         1437 Dec  3  2002 clamav-wrapper
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         6157 May 27 21:19 
clamav-wrapper.dpkg-dist

and so on for all Virus Scanning ...

Now, it's running successfully and I see the updates in the log.

FOR THE NEXT RELEASES :
I think it would be interesting to replace all the files in 
/usr/lib/MailScanner by default.

Thanks for all
Dominique
