Unfortunately, it's Debian's fault for the outdated ClamAV. They froze at 0.84 because they froze the distro. While that works quite well for most packages, it's not a good policy for ClamAV. John, how do Debian people handle stuff like that? Or should we rip out the package and replace it with a source install and auto- updating script?

Well I answered my own question. Per ClamAV's site (http:// www.clamav.net/binary.html), they point to the Debian Volatile project (http://volatile.debian.net/), which exists for exactly this purpose.

I added an apt source as follows (John please check my syntax on this):
deb http://volatile.debian.net/debian-volatile sarge/volatile main

Unfortunately it doesn't look like more current ClamAV has shown up there yet, but hopefully in a few days the errors we're seeing in the system log will go away.
