package clamav-0.105.1_4,1 fails to update signatures

[Stephen Welker]

freshclam is unable to run due to a package build issue.

freshclam log file details:

The pkg c-ares-1.18.1_1 is installed in this case.

When I try to build a local copy of curl, the local vesion is 
overwritten the next time the pkg version is updated. Removing the pkg 
version results in all dependant packages being removed as well.

Is it possible to build the curl package with c-ares?

NB: freshclam is the strongly preferred method of updating signatures, 
ClamAV is now using CloudFlare for their signature distribution, and 
this places many requirements on the retrieval signatures program.
