[lubuntu-users] Lubuntu PPC 16.04 Clamav is outdated

[Peter Golis]

Hello Gentleman,
During check of my logs I had found outdated ClamAV binaries (reported by freshclam). Is there any continuous plan for making antivirus up to date?
 
I know, this is only warning. But why to not have periodically updated antivirus on the same way like web browser firefox which is allways up to date on all *buntu derrivates?
 
According to http://www.clamav.net/downloads the latest stable version of ClamAV is 0.99.0 from 2015-12-01 18:15:38 UTC and pervious version in Lubuntu is 0.98.7 from 2015-10-12 19:49:40 UTC which is allmost 5 months old.
 
Clamav and freshclam actual versions:
 
clamav-freshclam/xenial,now 0.98.7+dfsg-0ubuntu5 powerpc [installed,automatic]
  anti-virus utility for Unix - virus database update utility
 
clamav/xenial,now 0.98.7+dfsg-0ubuntu5 powerpc [installed,automatic]
  anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface
