It looks like you're running 0.98. The current version of ClamAV is 0.98.1.
The update might not have hit your package repo yet. Check with whoever
maintains that package for the repo you're using.

Thanks,


Yes, but that does not match the rpm numbers .... hence the confusion.
If you are correct the person who uploaded the latest rpm to rpmforge made a mistake or 
"whatever" ....

The RPM version number is not the same, or not guaranteed, to be the same version number as the software. There are times when there will be an error in a package (a startup script mistake or path error, or...) that breaks only the package and requires repackaging. Yours looks like it was the second package released for ClamAV version 0.98.

Here is the installed version I created from source:

Note here that I use "clam*" and not "clamav" as you have. Otherwise I would miss clamd.

#> yum list installed "clam*"
clamav.x86_64                    0.98.1-1.el6      installed
clamav-db.x86_64                 0.98.1-1.el6      installed
clamav-devel.x86_64              0.98.1-1.el6      installed
clamav-unofficial-sigs.noarch    3.7.1-6.el6       installed
clamd.x86_64                     0.98.1-1.el6      installed

Software version: 0.98.1
Package version: 0.98.1-1.el6

For the previous version of ClamAV it looked like this:
Software version: 0.98
Package version: 0.98-2.el6 <-- Version 2 of the package as I found an error in the "UserName" in the script. I use smmsp where the default user is often clamav or just clam, depending on the distro. That requires I rebuild the package.
