EFW 2.1.2 and ClamAV (attn Mike Tremaine)

[Igor Mikolic-Torreira]

Mike,

I just am getting around to trying the
clamav-0.93.1-0.endian5.i386.rpm (and related) updates from
your EFW 2.1.1 web site on my EFW 2.1.2 system.

Previous updates for 2.1.1 have worked well on 2.1.2 (both
install itself and subsequent performance), but this time
the update fails with the message:

error: Failed dependencies:
libclamav.so.3 is needed by (installed)
perl-Mail-Clamav-0.20-1.endian0.i386

I didn't find an updated version of perl-Mail-Clamav on your
web site -- is this component not needed on EFW 2.1.1 systems?

For the record, the files I am updating (as a "set") are:

clamav-0.93.1-0.endian5.i386.rpm
clamav-db-0.93.1-0.endian5.i386.rpm
havp-0.88-1.endian8.i386.rpm
perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.9-1.endian4.i386.rpm
perl-libwww-perl-5.79-5.noarch.rpm
perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-extras-3.1.9-1.endian4.i386.rpm


Thanks,

Igor

perl-Mail-ClamAV is the perl module that allows an interface into  
libclamav. As far as I know it is not used by anything in Endian but  
was there for legacy reasons. I would just force the update. [ --
force ] it will work. The problem with perl-Mail-Clamav is that is  
does not get updated fast enough to keep up with the API of ClamAV so  
there is some waiting until it gets patched to work. Most projects  
have moved away from it to used clamd directly.

Thanks.  Actually it is the --nodeps option that forces the
update.  In any case, I installed it on my development
endian and have experimented some with it.  Will report out
in a separate thread.  But bottom line, clamav 0.93 should
NOT be installed on 2.1.2 systems.  I working on the changes
that are needed on the EFW side to adapt to all the new
options, but it will take me some time....
