Hello, I have suffered the same problem you describe with clam updates. Finally it worked the upgrade from 0.92.XXX to 0.93. [root at Carmen ~]# rpm -qa|grep -i clam clamav-db-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386 clamd-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386 clamav-0.93-2.el4.rf.i386 The problem I had was that at starting the clamd the daemon it crashed claiming something about the database format was incorrect. As you can imagine I have uninstalled clam*; saved the configuration files; updatedb; locate -i clam; yum install clamav-db clamd clamav; re-tunned the conf files, rights, etc...; fresclam; and it is working again. Hope it helps. Regards, P.S.: Yes, I do love top-posting if it helps (before some taliban says something to me, the list is to help people. I hope not to be unpolite) John escribió: > On Mon, 2008-04-21 at 14:47 +0100, Anne Wilson wrote: > >> On Monday 21 April 2008 14:38, John wrote: >> >>> On Mon, 2008-04-21 at 14:33 +0100, Anne Wilson wrote: >>> >>>> For several days now I've been trying to update clamav from rpmforge >>>> without success.
