This is not a package bug, but a support question.

It looks like you have a mix of packages from maverick and maverick-updates. You need to make sure your package cache is updated (sudo apt-get update on a command line) and try again.

You have wrong mixed repositories so this is the cause of your issue...

Please open a terminal and type:

lsb_release -crd

to discover the codename of your Ubuntu, then replace it into the /etc/apt/sources.list file from terminal, to edit the file, type:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

change the wrong name references then save and exit and type:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install clamav

First try to set your sources server (from update-manager) to use the main server... and retry...

made a backup copy of your actual sources.list file and then
try to put some as my standard /etc/apt/sources.list
