Ok, this is weird: after the dpkg-reconfigure (and answering all of the questions so that the configfiles contents should be duplicated) I'm not getting the problem anymore. Not even with the dpkg -r /dpkg -i combination - and I struggled with this problem for about an hour this morning, so this definitely wasn't caffein-withdrawl induced hallucinations... Does dpkg-reconfigure clamav-freshclam touch any file besides /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf ? > Can I get the (munged) contents of your file? If I had made a backup of the conffile before, sure. :| As it stands now, with me being unable to reproduce the problem either, I don't think either the configfile or the output of dpkg-reconfigure will help much at this point. I can install a fresh machine with an old version, following our update path here and see if the problem surfaces again. But this will be after the weekend. Regs, Sven
