I am running Ubuntu's Jaunty and get the following messages when I try to Add/Remove any software:

E: clamav-base: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: clamav-freshclam: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: clamav: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: clamav-daemon: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: clamtk: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

I am a newbie and have no idea where to go with this. I've tried reinstalling Clamav...but no luck.

Can someone help me with this?

Thanks.

How did you install it, thru Synaptic/apt-get or what?

Do sudo apt-get check in terminal

Sometimes the database gets corrupted with some files. If the option linus72 offered doesn't work, try the following in a terminal:

If this doesn't help, try to reinstall it the hard way:

If the last operation fails, what message do you get?

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. After scouting around on the Internet, I was able to remove some of the error messages. The only error message that I get now is:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

If anyone has any ideas about this, I'd appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks.

An other option is to remove the files containing this info in the dpkg database:

and then reconfigure your package manager:

Now your error message has to be gone. Clamav is installed, but not registered in the package manager after this action.

Thanks Laurens 73 for your suggestion.

Unfortunately, when I tried to follow the suggestions, I got the following message:

tom@Compaq:~$ sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav*
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/dpkg/info/clamav*': No such file or directory
tom@Compaq:~$

Other ideas?

Thanks, again.

I did another uninstall and reinstall of Clamav and apparently, it has solved the problem. My thanks to all of you who offered suggestions!
