Package: clamav
Version: 0.98.7+dfsg-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

when updating clamav to newer version using apt-get the configure-stage 
fails if LANG is set to fi_FI.UTF-8. Setting LANG to C fixes the problem. 

In following output LANG is initially set to fi_FI.UTF-8 so there is 
some output in finnish, translations follow:

# nice apt-get -f dist-upgrade

# 

So in the error message the word "Binääritiedosto" translates to 
"Binary file" - maybe configure script expects some specific word
or chokes on accented characters? ..quite possibly as the line 136
there reads 
        export "$variable"="true"
and bash might dislike environment variables with non-ascii names? 

The string seems to originate from variable CLAMAVCONF that in turn
is propably content of file /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf but in there
I don't see any accented characters, nor word "Binääritiedosto", it
is all english and .. judging by the file timestamp, it just got
overwritten by the upgrade process so I don't even have the original 
offending content any more.
