This might be an ok exception?  Those are the database signatures as
of packaging time (or roughly so, anyway).  The RHEL5 packages I
recently built provide a clamav-data and clamav-data-empty.  The first
gives you the cvd files (more stale as time goes) while the second
gives just the required directory structure.

I don't use the OpenCSW clamav packages, but the first thing an admin
would be doing after installing them is running freshclam anyway.  On
the other hand, I haven't tried starting clamav without these files
present so it may make sense in the case of auto-enabled daemons to
provide something, even if stale.[1]

Peter, what are your thoughts on the matter?

Thanks
