Package: clamav-daemon
Version: 0.87.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
I attempted to install the newer version of clamav with the
command "apt-get install clamav" on a system that
already had clamav on it. The clamav-daemon package had an
error, and could not complete installation. Then that failed
installation got "stuck" in my apt-get, so now I can't upgrade
or install anything else either.
Here is the what happens when I currently run
"apt-get -f install" :

I'm kind of stuck here -- I don't want to remove clamav and then install
it "fresh", although I will try that, because then I will end up with no
clamav at all if the install of the latest version fails.
In general, is there a way to cancel the installation of a partly
installed package, so that in the meantime I can install other stuff on
the computer ?
