You can try to do run freshclam from the command line and see if that will get the right settings in your conf file. If that runs you should be able to run aptitude install -f and it should be able to finalize the install and you should be good. If that doesn't work, you can run aptitude purge clamav freshclam to remove all traces of the program and then the normal aptitude install clamav to re-install it and hopefully have the correct location for the update files. I'm going from memory here, but when I resolved this issue on my old squeeze system (Running all wheezy now) I believe those where the steps I had to take to remedy this problem. -- Shane D.
