Okay. Take a look at clamav-db = 0.92.1-1.el4.rf for package: clamav
then look at clamav-lib = 0.88.2-2.el4.kb for package: clamav-server
One is from the kbs repo, and one is from rpmforge. Mostly, you're
mixing similar packages from different repositories. This is a bad
thing, and the reason for the existence of priorities, and
protectbase plugins, as well as include/exclude statements on a per
repository basis.
