As you can see in the last two lines, clamav-db and clamd appear to be
missing, but I assure you, clamav-milter and clamav as well as the
database are here, and running quite well. I even went so far as to do
an erase of both, and both times, yum shows them as being installed. Of
course I did not erase them, but if it finds them to be installed, why
does it say they are missing during an update attempt?
I'm off the digest currently, so I can more quickly respond with further
info if needed.
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.
Jim,
Thanks for pointing that out. I had not even noticed the differences.
When I installed clamav and everything, I let yum do it, so I just
assumed it would pull in all the right pieces. I know not to mix
repositories, so I'm at a loss how this happened. I assume now I have
to install the correct clamav package and clamav-db? What would best
practices do - remove the earlier version and start over? It's been
quite a while since I did any stuff on the machine, as it just runs and
works as it's supposed to do, but I see now I need to start playing
catch-up.
Thanks..
Sam
