Binary package hint: clamav

Just built a 4GB USB key using liveCD on ubuntu 8.10 iso image, booted
off it fine, ran security updates.  Installed ClamAV, install failed
with the following error message.  ClamAV will not work.

All .log files below consolodated together into one attachment as I
can't see how to upload multiple files.
