Happy gobble gobble day!

Server is a mail and web box with latest centos 4 upgrades and has been running and stable for probably over two years

Machine has perl 5.8.8 on it.

For a coupla days I have been trying to follow these basic instructions so that I can run a test.

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ClamAVPlugin

Now, the issue I am running into is that I needed to get a file-scan-clamav perm module in rpm

So I opened up browser and search for "file-scan-clamav perl dag rpm" and found some choices

Eventually I end up with this file

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/3851508/com/perl-File-Scan-ClamA V-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm.html

then when I try to install it says I need perl-base so I search and goto

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-base/

now...

when I install perl-base and then goto install the file-scan-clamav rpm I get this...

yum localinstall perl-File-Scan-ClamAV-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm Setting up Local Package Process Examining perl-File-Scan-ClamAV-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm: perl-File-Scan-ClamAV - 1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch Marking perl-File-Scan-ClamAV-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package perl-File-Scan-ClamAV.noarch 0:1.8-1mud2007.0 set to be updated --> Running transaction check Setting up repositories update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished --> Processing Dependency: perl-base >= 2:5.8.8 for package: perl-File-Scan-ClamAV --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: perl-base >= 2:5.8.8 is needed by package perl-File-Scan-ClamAV

at this point, I was wondering what I specifically need to do.

So, I tried rebuilding perl-base and installing it yet it asked to be signed so I have to figure that part out and if it will solve this.

Is that what the error is about in regards to perl-base >= 2:5.8.8

Or am I missing something else?

Dag, would you consider putting File::Scan::ClamAV rpm on your site please?

Thanks and kind regards!
