Unable to update clamav

Virtualmin

Hi all
I’m still unable to update clamav (using VirtualMin update or ssh):

Please, note that I disabled rpmforge and centsplus repos.
I’m using an updated VirtualMin version, CentOS 5.6 on a 1768MB VPS.
Please, help!
Thank you.

Well, you’re getting a number of errors like this:

clamd-0.97.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from installed has depsolving problems
–> Missing Dependency: clamav = 0.97.2-1.el5.rf is needed by package clamd-0.97.2-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (installed)

That suggests that you have the RPMForge version of ClamAV installed, which clashes with the Virtualmin version.

In order to update that, you’d need to first remove the conflicting version you have installed. You’d then be able to install the Virtualmin version.

Hello.
Thank you for replying.

I will try to “yum remove clamav*”, update, and re-enble rpmforge repos.

However, I’ve no idea about how avoid further conflicts once I re-enabled rpmforge repos…

Well, you really can’t :slight_smile:

Having RPMForge enabled alongside the Virtualmin repository is known to cause problems.

The only way around that is to use the includepkgs and excludepkgs options in the .repo files to have it pull in just the packages you need from RPMForge.

That’s really a good information :slight_smile:

As usual, thank you very much for helping me!
