F-Prot Broken with new version

I upgraded to the new stable version and tried running MailScanner 
--lint.  It complains that there's an invalid argument -old being passed???

I don't have f-prot-6 installed.  Also, I manually ran 
update_virus_scanners and it successfully checked/updated all scanners 
including f-prot.  f-prot runs correctly using the information from 
virus.scanners.conf.

 MailScanner --lint
Trying to setlogsock(unix)
Checking version numbers...
Version number in MailScanner.conf (4.68.2) is correct.

Your envelope_sender_header in spam.assassin.prefs.conf is correct.

Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...
SpamAssassin temp dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/SpamAssassin-Temp
SpamAssassin reported no errors.
MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamd f-prot bitdefender"
ERROR:: COULD NOT CONNECT TO FPSCAND, RECOMMEND RESTARTING DAEMON :: 
ISITINSTALLED
Found these virus scanners installed: bitdefender, clamavmodule, f-prot, 
clamd
===========================================================================
Invalid argument '-old'
===========================================================================
Virus Scanner test reports:
Clamd said "eicar.com was infected: Eicar-Test-Signature FOUND"
Bitdefender said "Found virus EICAR-Test-File (not a virus) in file 
eicar.com"

If any of your virus scanners (bitdefender,clamavmodule,f-prot,clamd)
are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly
and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its virus.scanners.conf.
