hi..

I see something strange here, because, on a 7.4 before the last updates should be:

Code: [Select]

[root@smeserver ~]# rpm -qa 2>/dev/null | grep clam       
clamav-0.95.3-1.el4.rf
clamav-db-0.95.3-1.el4.rf
smeserver-clamav-2.0.0-6.el4.sme
clamd-0.95.3-1.el4.rf

and giving

Code: [Select]

yum update

you should have:

Code: [Select]

[root@smeserver ~]# yum update | grep clam
---> Package smeserver-clamav.noarch 0:2.0.0-8.el4.sme set to be updated
---> Package clamav-db.i386 0:0.96-1.el4.rf set to be updated
---> Package clamd.i386 0:0.96-1.el4.rf set to be updated
---> Package clamav.i386 0:0.96-1.el4.rf set to be updated
 clamav                  i386       0.96-1.el4.rf    smeupdates         12 M
 clamav-db               i386       0.96-1.el4.rf    smeupdates         23 M
 clamd                   i386       0.96-1.el4.rf    smeupdates        216 k
 smeserver-clamav        noarch     2.0.0-8.el4.sme  smeupdates         45 k

so I think it's bugzilla time for you

Hi after further investigation it turned out the repository update setting was "disabled"

 [root@server ~]# db yum_repositories show smeupdates
> smeupdates=repository
>   
> BaseURL=http://mirror.contribs.org/pub/smeserver/releases/7/smeupdates/$basearch
>     EnableGroups=yes
>     GPGCheck=yes
>     MirrorList=file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-smeupdates
>     Name=SME Server - updates
>     Visible=yes
>     status=disabled
> [root@server ~]#

enabled setting by running

> db yum_repositories setprop smeupdates status enabled
>
> expand-template /etc/yum.smerepos.d/sme-base.repo
>
> then run again
>
> yum update

Thanks to all in the bugs process- wouldn't have been able to resolve the issue myself.

After downloading the updates (118Mb) server locked up- scared the bejesus out of me, after a couple of reboots it settled down and reconfigured the system to a stable situation- all up and running now.

Id like to say that this is a cracking topic for showing how the forum and bugzilla should work together.

I understand the need for bugzilla from the developers point of view, but most of the time (speaking for myself) i assume its me doing something daft not sme.

this makes sense, ir problem found, discussed on forum, escaleted to bugtracker, found to be user (as im sure is usual) not sme, reported back on forum.

Thumbs up from me anyway.
