[CentOS] Yum strangeness

Hi all,

    I was about to do an update on my server, but looking at what the 
output was and here's the output from the beginning with other parts 
left off.  I currently don't even have the clamav server installed, but 
am using the 0.93  version of clamav-milter.
I've never seen yum throw in so many packages that aren't even 
installed.  I understand the dependencies has to be met, and such, but 
why is yum trying to install older version of clamav?  Perhaps I missed 
something, but don't think so.

Many thanks,

Sam

Here is the output from  yum update
