Hi I tried to upgrade ClamAV to latest version 099.2 (from 0.98.7). I ran:

yum update clamav

and I receive this message below and not sure what to do to have the upgrade done, thanks:

  • with yum install clamav, i can start installing the new 0.99.2 version of the software, but after installation is complete, i still have the 0.98.7 running when i check clamav's version.

  • Probably the daemon is still the old one. (Try also forcing an update of clamav-daemon, clamav-freshclam and libclamav6). I get 0.99.1 using autoupdate.

When you do the update, you should have seen something like:

  Updating   : clamav-filesystem-0.99.2-1.el7.noarch                       1/14
  Updating   : clamav-data-0.99.2-1.el7.noarch                             2/14
  Updating   : clamav-lib-0.99.2-1.el7.x86_64                              3/14
  Updating   : clamav-server-0.99.2-1.el7.x86_64                           4/14
  Updating   : clamav-server-systemd-0.99.2-1.el7.noarch                   5/14
  Updating   : clamav-0.99.2-1.el7.x86_64                                  6/14
  Updating   : clamav-update-0.99.2-1.el7.x86_64                           7/14

If some of those main files (specially clamav-data) did get updated, you can ignore the version shown.

If anything seems wrong, reload the clamav daemon (service clamd restart).

  • thanks I didn't get these messages as you do. mine just said: "No Packages marked for Update". I then did a yum install clamav and installed a 0.99.2, but still have the 0.98.7 running when i checked later.

  • sorry i don't know how to mark below as code in comment mode: root@sau-ee0dd-vs [~]# whereis clamd clamd: /usr/sbin/clamd /etc/clamd.d /etc/clamd.conf /usr/local/sbin/clamd /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf /usr/share/man/man8/clamd.8.gz

  • Re-trying the update will not show anything, of course; take a look at the previous logs for that. If you get no outdated warning, means the main files did update.
