Topic: clamav 0.88.6 - my system still 0.88.4 - is this OK?

[idp_qbn]

Hi,
I notice clamav have released 0.88.6 as stable (and 0.88.5 was released nerly a month ago). My system is still on 0.88.4 and shows no updates ready.

Are we waiting for the move or is there a problem with my setup?
I have SME7 Server Only mode, with Fetchmail added.

Cheers
Ian

Do a yum update

It has been discussed

You will need to activate the SME Server-updates testing repository for the yum update command to work upgrading ClamAV 88.6.   Also note there are a number of other rpm's in that repository in addition to ClamAV which you may not want to be installed.  If all you want is ClamAV then I would suggest "yum install clamav" in lieu of the general upgrade command.

Activating the repository can be easily accomplished in the Server Manager panel "Software Installer"

Thank you both. I will give that a try.

It's not in testing and a

Code: [Select]

yum update will do just fine.

Do a

Code: [Select]

yum update clam* if your concerned.

What do these 3 commands give you?

Code: [Select]

[root@c3 ~]# rpm -q clamav
clamav-0.88.2-1sme01
[root@c3 ~]# rpm -q clamav-db
clamav-db-0.88.2-1sme01
[root@c3 ~]# rpm -q clamd
clamd-0.88.2-1sme01
[root@c3 ~]#

RESOLVED!
Thanks for all your suggestions - Mjohnson and William_Syd.

It turned out to be a corrupt cache on the Firewall (IPCOP).  I talked with a friend over the weekend and he suggested flushing the cache and it worked!
Regular successful hourly checking for the last 3 hours.

Still, I have been learning a lot, thanks to your help and feel more and more confident with SME.

Cheers
Ian
