[Solved] ClamAV and the Suspect.Zip

Situation: I use clamav to scan incoming mails for virus's via amavisd.

Problem: Incoming mail where a zip file is encrypted (or password protected) get marked as a virus and quarantined.

Disabling archive scanning is not a solution. I have set the following setting in clamd.conf, ArchiveBlockEncrypted no

So now clamd reports it as this in the log file:

The problem is, it should not even say anything at all. From reading google it seems this was a bug back in 0.82 and somehow slipped back into 0.93.1 which arch currently has on the 64bit platform. As far as I know this should never have made its way back into the main clamd tree but somehow did.

Is this package going to be updated, I believe its in the extra repo or am I left making my own PKGBUILD?

Thank you,
T
