Ok... (Before anyone tells me I need to) I will be filing a bugzilla
report on this later today but someone did a bad thing in ClamAV.
If you install the latest packages from the update repositories, they
url chunks unable to create the clamupdate user and group. Problem
appears to be in the clamav-update package.
During the yum install of the clamav packages...

groupadd [options] GROUP
Options:
-f, --force exit successfully if the group already exists,

I've had to add that user and group by hand on some of my real systems
but that's not possible in building the NST (Network Security Toolkit)
<http://www.networksecuritytoolkit.org/nst/index.html> respins of F18
since those are building bootable iso images.
Obviously, it only affects fresh installs where someone installs ClamAV
on a new system (or, at least, one that hasn't had it on there before).
If the UID and GID already exist on the system, there's not a problem.
Regards,
Mike
