I'm running Sendmail, Mailscanner, Spamassasin, and Clamav (0.70rc-1). I
would like to upgrade Clamav. Tried yum but it continues to tell me there
are no updates available. So on to plan two. I'm going to install from the
RPMs but wasn't exactly sure of the process.
This is my plan.
1. Stop Mailscanner (which will effectively stop Sendmail and Clamav,
correct?)
Not sure (not my config). Better stop sendmail and clamav, too.
2. Save my current clamav.conf to /tmp
Always a wise decision ;-)
3. rpm -e clamav
4. rpm -Uvh new clamav-db rpm package
5. rpm -Uvh new clamav package
Why not: rpm -Uvh clamav-db clamav  ? Should keep track of everything 
(if the RPMs are built properly).
If you're not sure, run something like
find /etc /usr -name "*clamav*" -print
after rpm -e  and check for leftover libs or binaries and delete them 
manually. I've seen too many requests here which were tracked down to be 
old duplicate leftovers...
6. copy clamav.conf back to /etc
6. restart Mailscanner
Sorry if this is elementary but it's my first time and this is a production
server that can't afford to be down long. I've searched the web and can't
find any detailed instructions for this type of update (when one program is
depending on others being there 24/7)
Any hints, tips, tricks, and/or got-cha's would be helpful.
TIA!
