[users] Failing in updating to clamav and clamav-db

Since I don't already have clamav-devel:

# yum --enablerepo=dag -y install clamav-devel
Loading "kernel-module" plugin

Error: Missing Dependency: libclamav.so.2 is needed by package perl-Mail-ClamAV

The clamav packages I've got installed are:

clamav-db-0.91.2-1.el4.rf
perl-Mail-ClamAV-0.20-1.el4.rf
clamav-0.91.2-1.el4.rf

Maybe it's an idea to shut off my mail server, remove perl-Mail-ClamAV, update
clamav and clamav-db and then re-install perl-Mail-ClamAV ?

Michael.
