[CentOS] rpmforge problem

[Lorenzo Martínez Rodríguez]

Hello, I have suffered the same problem you describe with clam updates. 
Finally it worked the upgrade from 0.92.XXX to 0.93.

[root at Carmen ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i clam
clamav-db-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386
clamd-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386
clamav-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386

The problem I had was that at starting the clamd the daemon it crashed 
claiming something about the database format was incorrect. As you can 
imagine I have uninstalled clam*; saved the configuration files; 
updatedb; locate -i clam; yum install clamav-db clamd clamav; re-tunned 
the conf files, rights, etc...; fresclam; and it is working again.

Hope it helps. Regards,

P.S.: Yes, I do love top-posting if it helps (before some taliban says 
something to me, the list is to help people. I hope not to be unpolite)
