I went back and ran these in order:
 sudo dpkg --configure clamav-base
Password:
Setting up clamav-base (0.88.4-1ubuntu2.1) ...

gymsmoke at croatus:~$ sudo dpkg --configure clamav-freshclam
Setting up clamav-freshclam (0.88.4-1ubuntu2.1) ...
 * Starting ClamAV virus database updater freshclam
[ ok ] 

gymsmoke at croatus:~$ sudo dpkg --configure --pending
Setting up clamav (0.88.4-1ubuntu2.1) ...
Setting up clamtk (2.24-0ubuntu1) ...

And, upon opening the gui (clamtk), received this:
Warning:
Your virus signatures are 189 days old!

Now, that's more in keeping with the Ubuntu Tradition! :P

Anyone know how to get virus definitions just slightly younger than 6
months old ??

(I think launchpad (or whoever is responsible for this pkg) should
definitely be made aware of the package install snafu...)
