Yum and apt-get are currently downloading the ClamAV 0.93 RPM from
RPMforge, however, the RPM does not appear to install everything. Among
other things, clamd and /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamav are never installed from
that RPM. At least that is the case on my CentOS 5 machines and I have
attempted the install several times. I browsed through the
clamav_0.93-2.el5.rf_i386.rpm file and neither clamd nor
/etc/init.d/clamav appear to be included in that RPM. I am fairly
certain that clamd is supposed to be included since it is mentioned
prominently in clamav's 0.93 announcement which I have included below.
Am I missing something? If so, then I send my humble apologies up
front. Otherwise, please advise as to the correct way to install this
rpm so that it includes clamd and /etc/rc.d/init.d/clamav.
FYI,
