[Bug 635537] Re: package clamav-base 0.96.1+dfsg-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Scott Kitterman]

This is not a bug in the clamav package.  Some other package has locked
the user related files.  See Bug #432964 as it has an extended
discussion on the topic.  You can remove the lock files as described
there to resolve the immediate issue, but it would be best to try and
find the original source of these stale locks.
