Folks, I have a bit of a problem and can't seem to figure out what is getting broken or why. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get clamav or clamav-milter to install and permit yum update to continue. What is happening is this: I yum install the clamav package, but when I try to do an update on the system, it constantly returns with an error of a Missing Dependency for clamd and clamav-db. I've installed and erased clamav several times, and that's the only way I can do a yum update on the system. The files are coming from sourceforge, and the version is 0.93-2.el4rf. Perhaps I'm not installing in the correct sequence or something, so could someone please tell me how to go about getting all the dependencies for the clamav package? This is the x86_64 version I've been working with. Many thanks.... Sam

But I suspect that if you solve the first, you solve it all. Craig

And as a general hint, it's really not good style to lament about "missing dependencies" with telling more.> The files are coming from sourceforgePlease elaborate. There are several repo's that have clamav. I recommend using rpmforge. Or do you mean *rpm*forge when you write sourceforge? Problems with the latest clamav rpms have been reported several times on this list, read back! I personally haven't had any problems.
