The ClamAV packages are a special case, and if you tracked the clamav
mailing list like I do, you would find out there have been issues with
the 0.90 release that are not present with the 0.88.7 release before.

Many of the problems are:
 (1)  Major configuration changes, these are not simple and effect all
parameters.
 (2)  Bugs with freshclam (sometimes crashing for no apparent reason)
effecting the database updates.
 (3)  Changes in the parameters accepted by clamav-milter from the
command line.

Today, version 0.90.1 was released to fix many of the reported
problems.  But, not sure how the package maintainers plan on fixing
the configuration file changes.
