CentOS - Feb 2014 - CLAMAV problem: Error message "outdated version" although "yum list installed" reports correct version

Hi.

I posted this on the clamav list as well, as I do not know whether this is a rpm
issue or clamav issue.
Strange problem indeed:

[root /tmp] #>yum list installed "clamav*"
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Installed Packages
clamav.x86_64             0.98-2.el5.rf                         installed
clamav-db.x86_64          0.98-2.el5.rf                         installed
clamav-milter.x86_64      0.98-2.el5.rf                         installed
[root /tmp] #>

[root /tmp] #>su clamav -c /usr/bin/freshclam
ClamAV update process started at Thu Feb 20 12:37:52 2014

I have checked the following:

 - all configuration files point to the same database directory
 - there is only one binary for each of the clamav things on the system
 - freshclam updates with no problems
 - clamconf report correct databases but also:
   Software settings
   -----------------
   Version: 0.98


Any ideas?
It has been complaining about this one for some time.

Yes, repoforge needs to build the new version if clamav (version 0.98.1)
instead of 0.98.

But according to the RPM numbers (see above) it already did ... this is why it
is so confusing.
