You can install the clamav-data package instead of freshclam, perhaps. The reason the conflicts is there is that freshclam will do a database transform not understood by applications using older versions of libclamav (helpful, I know), but the clamav-data packages won't do such a thing, and should be safe (although totally untested - good luck!) > I do NOT want to install python-clamav package manually from source - > I am using a package system for obvious reasons. > > If I understand things right - python-clamav must go into volatile > also to solve this problem.

IIRC when I updated to libclamav2, I and a friend did the fixing because the maintainer wasn't answering mails at the time. If you're interested in seeing python-clamav maintained, you may want to try contacting the current maintainer. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
