Scott,

Thanks for the quick response.

It never used to do this, only since I did the version upgrade to ubuntu
9.04 yesterday.

I had to remove clamav just to be able to do apt-get --configure -a

I just tried to reinstall dansguardian with the dependency on clamav
now, and this is what I got:

dave@ourbox:~$ sudo apt-get install dansguardian

freshclam reenter password for pam_mount:

As before, entering the password I think it is looking for just echoes
to the console without actually doing anything, I just have to ctrl-c.
Anyway, why would it need to mount any volume not already mounted just
to update its database? I'm running the full gui, the only volumes not
mounted are arbitrary data volumes.

Regards,
Dave
