I suppose it's more of a frustration with myself, but can some kind soul please help me with the procedure to tell yum a package is in fact installed? Here is the output from the command "yum update".

As you can see in the last two lines, clamav-db and clamd appear to be missing, but I assure you, clamav-milter and clamav as well as the database are here, and running quite well. I even went so far as to do an erase of both, and both times, yum shows them as being installed. Of course I did not erase them, but if it finds them to be installed, why does it say they are missing during an update attempt?
I'm off the digest currently, so I can more quickly respond with further info if needed.
Thanks..
