Newbie question re: clamav dependency for amavis-new

[dharakos]

Hi guys and gals,

There's a couple of other peoples posts re: this one on these forums, but they are fairly old and haven't been answered so I hoped to try again.

I've installed my mail server setup using the tutorial http://fedoranews.org/mediawiki/inde...rus_protection

The setup itself seems to work well, but when I do a "yum update" I get;

Setting up Update Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Package gawk.i386 0:3.1.4-5.4 set to be updated
---> Package clamd.i386 0:0.88-1.2.fc4.rf set to be updated
---> Package gnupg.i386 0:1.4.2.1-3 set to be updated
--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: /etc/clamd.d for package: amavisd-new
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: /etc/clamd.d is needed by package amavisd-new

FYI;
I'm on a Xen VPS (Quantact) running Fedora 4
amavisd-new-2.3.3-5.fc4
clamav-0.88-1.2.fc4.rf
clamav-server-0.88-1.fc4
clamav-update-0.88-1.fc4
clamav-lib-0.88-1.fc4
clamav-data-0.88-1.fc4

Any help is greatly appreciated as I've not been able to find many hits when I google this one.

With thanks in advance,
David Harakos

Might want to use the "yum --exclude=clamd.d update" option for now until it's worked out. What's strange is that you seem to already have all the latest versions installed on Clam. How about checking here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i386.rpm.html
and clicking the 'check requires' button to see what pops.

Thanks for the link. I think I've got it fixed, although I don't understand what the problem was.

I removed amavisd-new then did a yum upgrade which updated clamd. Then I re-installed amavisd and the problem has not come back. Not terribly technical, but it seems to have done the trick.
