engine outdated error

Hello,

I'm just trying to get rid of these messages I have in my logs

Sun Jul 21 06:25:22 2013 -> [LibClamAV]
***********************************************************

Sun Jul 21 06:25:22 2013 -> [LibClamAV] *** This version of the ClamAV
engine is outdated. ***

Sun Jul 21 06:25:22 2013 -> [LibClamAV] *** DON'T PANIC! Read
http://www.clamav.net/support/faq ***

Sun Jul 21 06:25:22 2013 -> [LibClamAV]
***********************************************************

I have latest version 0.97.8 installed on a Debian 6 mail server with
freshclam and amavisd-new, all at latest version, how can I trace where the
error begins? If I can't trust my mail server error logs, how can I be sure
that everything is working as expected?

I think there is some old stuff freshclam is using when update starts, but I
really don't know how and where to find it, maybe someone can point me to
the right direction? I only can't restart the mail server as it is in
production nor stop mail services

TYA

more helpfull there

ii libclamunrar6 0.96.4-1 anti-virus utility for Unix - unrar support

not 0.96.4-1 here ?

maybe using --purge is also needed ?
