My question to the extras package maintainer :-
1. Are we supposed to install the dag wieers packages
on top of the extras ones?

2. Did you actually test and see that clamav is
installable and usable?

3. What is the purpose of the clamav packages in
extras?

I would suggest you say what configuration steps are
involved to get a service that does not exist started.

> 2. Yes.
Did you or the maintainer actually see that clamav in
extras works. And is your response in 3 real?

> 3. Read the included documentation.
I would suggest you yourself read the documentation
and stop making silly responses.

Nonsense assuming what your response in 2 is.

To the package maintainer, the clamav package in
extras is rubbish!! (Seeing what is posted in the
extras list)
