[Bug 1296856] [NEW] Please update clamav to 0.98.1 for Lucid -> Saucy in security/updates

[Scott Kitterman]

Public bug reported:

As discussed in the Ubuntu Security team meeting today, I think it would
be prudent to deliver 0.98.1 to all users and not just users of
backports.  Both 0.98.1 upstream and the packaging for 0.98.1 seem to be
in a stable place where a general update would be appropriate.  The
major reason to do this is that the current packages, 0.97.8, cannot use
all current virus definitions.  You can see this in this excerpt of the
libclamav/others.h diff:

  * CL_FLEVEL is the signature f-level specific to the current code and
@@ -53,11 +55,12 @@
  * in re-enabling affected modules.
  */

-#define CL_FLEVEL 69
+#define CL_FLEVEL 76
 #define CL_FLEVEL_DCONF        CL_FLEVEL
 #define CL_FLEVEL_SIGTOOL CL_FLEVEL

The packages for precise -> saucy are unmodified from trusty.  For
lucid, there are a few changes, notable removing use of dh-autoreconf
since it doesn't exist and the reconf would fail even if it did and
disabling LLVM on powerpc to fix the build (last upload we gave up on
powerpc since I didn't think of trying this).
