Edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav-base.postinst, and change #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/sh -x. Then run dpkg-reconfigure clamav-base and send me the output. This should have been handled automatically, but I would like to see what went wrong. Thanks for reporting and sorry to take so long getting back, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
