Package: clamav
Version: 0.94.dfsg-1~bpo40+1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've just upgraded to the clamav package and found a number of
previously-accepted command line switches to no longer work.
Examples include --unzoo, or --lha. Also, the man page still has this
example:

clamscan -d /tmp/newclamdb --max-space=50m -r /tmp

which stopped to work since about two versions ago, due to --max-space
now being no longer accepted.

It would be nice if deprecating command line switches like this would at
least either elicit a warning instead of an error, a prominent
apt-listchanges notice, this all be better documented, and the man page
be brought in sync with the actual program.

Just silently changing the behaviour "under the hood" is a nuisance when
running clamscan "unattended" from your favourite mail filtering
script...


Thank you!


Kind regards,
--Toni++
