You cannot even "force install" when there are no 0.103.7 packages in the buster archive in the first place. :) Or are you considering other installation options? > Plus, what's with the constant daily outdated message when it is up to > date in Debian 10 (Buster)?

It's a ClamAV thing where it tells its users when there's a newer version released and available for installation. It's a non-fatal warning. In general, we have certain packages that we want to keep up-to-date in LTS and ELTS releases and ClamAV being one of them. It wasn't a pressing issue since there are no security issues in this release but I'll look into this and prepare backports for buster, stretch, and jessie. - u
