Commit updating security/clamav to 0.105.1,1 isn't merged to current
(2022Q3) quarterly branch. So if you really build with quarterly
branch and get 0.105.1,1, it is very likely you make something wrong
with building clamav package.

And please provide following imformation.

* Your rchitecture
* Your OS version (both host and jail)
* Your options setting

Best Regards.
