I've apparently made a mess of clamav. Tried uninstalling it, and excluded it from dag's repo. Now, when I yum install clamav and clamav-server, I'm apparently missing all the libs, data and so forth. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this back ? I probably blew all the old stuff away during the update or later, and don't have a clue as to why it's not doing what it's supposed to now.

I bet it's something like remove, remove,... install, install.> > TIA >HTH -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Seems it was just yum install clamav and clamav-server and then it just worked. Hmmmm... maybe the project folks can tell me where I'm goofy. -sam

On my website ...rivers-bend.com...I wrote a little how to on this that I refer to when I have to upgrade or install. You might have a look at that John Rose

I ended up using Karanbir's Centos Extras repo (centos.karan.org I believe). alex

I do have the extras repo enabled. > > -samHmmm. Now I am confused. I guess I just realized that there is an "extras" repo in the stock CentOS yum config. I used the repo file that I retrieved from the above URL. There are not the same are they? Sorry if that is a thread hijack ;) alex
