Problems Encountered

• Anti-virus scanning failed on several files with error 'CL_EFORMAT: Bad format or broken data ERROR'. clamav was downgraded to the previous release to work around the problem. See https://bugzilla.clamav.net/show_bug.cgi?id=5252
• Missed the request to add action=silent to the snippets (which was in the original build request). Search/replaced the snippets and re-pushed (see steps above).
