F-Prot Broken with new version

[Julian Field]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

In /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/SweepViruses.pm, add a line so it 
says this at/around line 3678:
  # Attempt to open the connection to fpscand
  $sock = ConnectToFpscand($Port, $TimeOut);
  return 'FPSCANDNOTRUNNING' if $lintonly && !$sock;

The 'return' line is the new one.

Then 'service MailScanner stop' and run 'MailScanner --lint' again.
Please let me know how you get on.
