So, instead of using ClamAV packaged by Ubuntu, supported by Ubuntu, 
security-patched by Ubuntu and periodically upgraded by Ubuntu, including 
upgrading together with Ubuntu OS
- and thus fulfilling dependencies and avoiding conflicts

you have chosen to "install" it yourself, in unsupported way, manually 
moving files to semi-random places?

Good luck with that.
