The CLAMAV_PRIVATE symbols are only used internaly by clamav. From one release to another, the semantics/ABI of one or more of those functions may change. The result is something between a crash/not working properly and refusing to start because 'clamd' in clamav-daemon has a higher "functionality" than the provided libclamav. Instead of tracking this I go the easy way and bump all private symbols on each release. The CLAMAV_PUBLIC symbols are only touched on a so bump since they are also used by third party (i.e. libclamav-dev users). Sebastian
