[Bug 784797] [NEW] [Natty] freshclam.conf has invalid characters and cannot be parsed

[Scott Testerman]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: clamav-freshclam

Both postinst and manually running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure clamav-
freshclam" leave an invalid /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf file, leaving
freshclam unable to update.  Running freshclam results in the following
error:

"ERROR: Incorrect argument format for option HTTPProxyPort
ERROR: Can't open/parse the config file /etc/clamav/freshclam.conf"

When manually configuring via dpkg-reconfigure, the Proxy question
cannot be left blank; the "http://" cannot be removed.  In the generated
freshclam.conf, the Proxy, HTTPProxyServer, and HTTPProxyPort lines all
have invalid characters.  Editing the file to correct or remove these
lines results in a correctly functioning freshclam.
