Subject:	clamwin installs incompatible copy of cygwin1.dll
X-IsSubscribed:	yes

I had a user install clamwin and as discussed on the list here:
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-09/msg00288.html
it blithely installs cygwin1.dll regardless of any installation
of cygwin.  This predictably causes problems.

Searching through the user guide and faq doesn't yield
a suggestion for solutions or workarounds and searching
the list archives yields so much material that it is
hard to focus in on what specifically to do.  Obviously,
I can have the person uninstall clamwin.  Is there anything
else that makes sense (and, no, uninstalling cygwin doesn't
make sense)?  This would be a good candidate for the FAQ,
I think.

Many thanks - Jim
