[Bug 1218727] Re: package clamav-base 0.97.8+dfsg-1ubuntu1.12.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Shane Williams]

This error still exists in Ubuntu 14.04 with clamav-base-0.98.6.

Furthermore, the recommended workaround (remove --purge clamav-base)
only works if the clamav user is a local user.  If clamav comes from NIS
(or, I presume, LDAP), there is no workaround, making clamav
uninstallable from the official package.

Suggested patch attached
