[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#769384: ERROR: This tool requires libclamav with functionality level 79 or higher (current f-level: 77)

[Jesse Molina]

Sorry, I opened this bug when I was tired. My apologies for the lack of 
detail.

I did a global upgrade, which is how I ended up in that situation. 
libclamav6 was held back.  Seems obvious that the package needed to be 
upgraded but wasn't, but I was not thinking right at the time.

Seems like a simple oversight.
