Attached is a clamav license incompatibility bug with libgmp from the debian lawyers. clamav might be forced to link against an older libgmp.

The switch to LGPL3 came with gmp-4.2.2, so gmp-4.2.1 would be needed for clamav compatibility. But prev is gmp-4.2.3-1, so we might need a

I can provide this if required, but I don't want to rush into it.

Some questions come to mind:
 - what should it be called? gmp-compat?
 - where should we install it? /opt/gmp-compat/{lib,include}
 - would a static library suitable?  No run time dependency,
   and we won't be upgrading it.

Problem solved upstream. Thanks.


The next clamav version will use LibTomMath (bundled with
ClamAV) instead of libgmp.
