ClamAV update

[VMguru]

I received these in an email from our appliance:

An update to clamav from 0.98.7-1.el6 to 0.99-3.el6 is needed.
However, this update could not be installed! Try the update manually using the Package Updates module.

An update to clamav-db from 0.98.7-1.el6 to 0.99-3.el6 is needed.
However, this update could not be installed! Try the update manually using the Package Updates module.

An update to clamd from 0.98.7-1.el6 to 0.99-3.el6 is needed.
However, this update could not be installed! Try the update manually using the Package Updates module

Can anyone help explain to me (a Windows guy) how to proceed?
Thank you.

Windows guy eh?

First you launch Visual Studio, then you create a new project....

hehe, jk

This is an ongoing and known issue.

The fix is a field test at the moment, until I can confirm it doesn't cause other issues.

In your case you would skip the EFA-Update (last line) and try to proceed with updating ClamAV after ripping out the old perl module rpm and dropping in the new one.

Basically, perl-Mail-ClamAV rpm from the old repoforge is throwing fits about libclamav.so.6 not being around anymore. I have built a new rpm to test that references libclamav.so.7 instead.

The fix is confirmed to be working. All is good.

Yup Windows guy.
Anywho, was wondering if you happened to try your rpm package yet?
If so is it available to try?
In other words do I download clamav-0.99-3.el6.x86_64.rpm from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6 ... lamav.html
and execute:

sudo rpm -e --nodeps perl-Mail-ClamAV
sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps clamav-0.99-3.el6.x86_64.rpm

Or should I follow the exact steps in you referenced in : viewtopic.php?f=13&p=4893
Skipping the last line. So I literally execute:

wget http://dl.efa-project.org/rpm/CentOS/6/ ... x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -e --nodeps perl-Mail-ClamAV
sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps perl-Mail-ClamAV-0.29-2.efa.el6.x86_64.rpm

Let me know, thank you.

Follow these steps and you should be good. Then you can run yum update clamav.

That worked perfectly!
Thank you shawniverson.
