Avast detected a suspicious file in this download.
Clean

Please update to the current Avast definitions and re-scan. Or, report the false positive to Avast as they have a borked definitions set again.
many updates later and still
many updates later and still blocked from updating.
damn Avast
They fixed it
As of todays Avast update,
Avast does't block the Freeciv update.
Don't understand why it took so long though.
The squeaky wheel gets the oil?
or, to put it another way, the more people that report a detection as a false positive, the sooner the AV company check the file themselves to see why it is being detected and fix the problem.
Next time it would help if you took the time to report something like this as a false positive. I think you can also go into Avast's Virus Chest and report from there (as well as restore the file which *might* get Avast to let you install/run the program?)
