Thanks for the suggestion Ralph; in fact there was nothing wrong. It was just that the GUI picked up the out-of-date engine just after a close was forced, so it looked as though it was damaged. Just a coincidence, as my netbook instance had by then displayed 'obsolete' scan engine as well. Also, when I installed on the netbook, it was completely clean and the clamav definition updates followed immediately, whereas I got an indicated fault on the desktop. The desktop was the one with random installs. Ubuntu really has made it easy; if you install the clamgt gui the other components are added automatically.
