I've apparently made a mess of clamav. Tried uninstalling it, and excluded it from dag's repo. Now, when I yum install clamav and clamav-server, I'm apparently missing all the libs, data and so forth. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get this back ? I probably blew all the old stuff away during the update or later, and don't have a clue as to why it's not doing what it's supposed to now.
TIA

If you still have the yum log in /var/log, maybe the starting point is there? I bet it's something like remove, remove,... install, install.

Yep.. looking at /var/log/yum.log now and see what went away. I don't recall having to do all this when I first installed clamav tho. Seems it was just yum install clamav and clamav-server and then it just worked. Hmmmm... maybe the project folks can tell me where I'm goofy.

Depends. From which repository are you installing clamav?

Jim,
I excluded the dag repo so it should be coming from extras or the "official" CentOS repos. It's not a huge issue, but I don't like things that break that might be functional, especially on the mail server.

yum list clam*
that would be a good place to start, make sure you clean the yum metadata ( yum clean metadata ), before this. to make sure you get the freshest info.
once you have the list, you can then make a decision on how and what you need to install. Clamav's packaging had a bit of a namespace change ( screwup? ) recently. its possible you are missing something critical due to this move.

Thanks Karanbir. At least I got it all removed. For some reason, installing everything except the clamtk did not solve the problem. System does not recognize the clamd service. I'll dork with it later.

Uggg!.....I don't know how right I am or whatever but the following works for me.
On my website ...rivers-bend.com...I wrote a little how to on this that I refer to when I have to upgrade or install. You might have a look at that

John,
I see you are just using the rpm's where I'm attempting to use yum. So far, I'm not having much luck even with yum. I swear, I don't recall it being this convoluted when I originally installed it. Maybe someone can tell me the sequence in which stuff needs to be done, as you did on your web page.
Thanks..
