Hello,
I have installed MailScanner in a new Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS server.

I have installed the last version of the Avast antivirus software using
this package:
avast_2.1.0-1_amd64.deb

The problem I'm having now is that the
/usr/share/MailScanner/avast-wrapper script is not valid for the last
version of Avast.

I have modified it this way:
#prog=bin/avastcmd
prog=scan

And I have also modified the file virus.scanners.conf this way:
#avast          /usr/share/MailScanner/avast-wrapper    /usr
avast           /usr/share/MailScanner/avast-wrapper    /bin

And modified the  /usr/share/MailScanner/MailScanner/SweepViruses.pm
file commenting this line:
#CommonOptions      => '-n -t=A',

The problem is now in the ProcessAvastOutput function into the
SweepViruses.pm that it is not valid for this version of Avast.

When I run MailScanner --lint Avast doesn't detect the test virus
because the ProcessAvastOutput is bad.

Anyone knows how to solve it?
May the maintainers of MailScanner solve it for the next release?

Thank you very much in advance.
