I do not understand why clam is listed in the dependencies of virtualmin? Does it mean that virtualmin couldn't be run without clam?!

Howdy -- The virtualmin-base package is used to bring in a number of packages commonly used with Virtualmin, including ClamAV.
Why exactly it's listed there, and not just in the install.sh script, I'm not sure :-) On some of the other distros most dependencies have been removed from virtualmin-base, though with CentOS a lot are still in there.
Would you check this Jamie/Joe?

This dependency is intention, as we use the
virtualmin-basepackage as a way of puling in other packages at install time. However, you don't have to use or runclamdif you don't need virus scanning - there is an option to disable it in the post-install wizard.well that's true and I have already disabled clamd and further I could remove
spamassassin mailman postgresql rubypackages, these packages were also installed by virtualmin-base however they were not added as a dependency of it. Still wonder whyclamdis added as a dependency despite the other packages above.Is it safe to remove virtualmin-base after virtualmin is installed? Doesn't it break virtualmin updates?
