I can't address clamav (Hello Clamav! :-) but I also got the makewhatis broken pipe. Haven't had time to pursue it. I just presumed (for the moment) it was a side-effect of the same thing (whatever it was) that left all the "...\#prelink\#..." files in /usr/lib, /lib/ /bin, ... et al. This workstation has been very unstable since those appeared. My current suspect is an interrupted "rpm --verify" which "un- prelinks" (into a temp?) to check the md5 sum and/or a failure during a yum update post (?) script that failed in prelink. And then I compounded it in my ignorance by trying to manually run a full pass with only a quick perusal (and little thought of possible omissions and consequences). Naturally, it seg faulted partway through. Seg fault is my familiar friend now. > What gives with the makewhatis and clamav?
