Yes, in te meanwhile I looked a bit further and found out that that's
precisely what happens. The corresponding message is:

(I don't suppose there is a worm, but you might be interested in knowing
about this false positive.)

Well, if I knew *where* (during with package install) this is triggered,
it might still help circumvent the problem. I'm pretty sure this is
deterministic. However, AFAIS no log file is generated - probably due to
the abrupt termination. Can you suggest any way I can obtain a log?
For instance, can I reroute logging to stdout?

Unfortunately, the virus software configuration is set by university
policy, I can't touch it myself :-( (though I am of course also trying
to go that route).

In any case, thanks for your reply and help.
