Assuming what I found to be true ... this is not a bug with yum or protectbase ... or even I problem with the repos individually ... but a problem if dag and kbs are used together.
It is a problem whenever a package obsoletes another package and that or it's name is in other repos as well.
If you want to use Dags repo for clamav:
in the kbs-CentOS-Extras repo add this line:
exclude=clamav*
Sure, I can do this, but I have to do this without protectbase, anyway.
As a side note, this kind of problem happens quite frequently when more than one repo is used.
But the whole point of protectbase is that it *protects*, isn't it? I mean in my eyes "protect" means "protect" against replacement by another repo by whatever means. I don't care if it updates, obsoletes or whatever. Why should "obsoletes" be handled different?
