Looks like this is OpenSUSE's response to the recent announcement of
the pending EOL of 0.100.x:

https://blog.clamav.net/2021/06/clamav-eol-of-0100x-versions.html

I can't be sure because I can't view the bugzilla ref (nice one, SUSE)
and from my other searches I can't make head nor tail of what they've
been doing with the 'Leap' versions but it *looks* like, well, nothing
since March 2019:

For example scroll down to OpenSUSE at

No wonder Joel's been tearing his hair out.
