You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Howdy -- what output do you get if you run this command:

rpm -qa | grep clam

Also, if you run "yum clean all", then run "yum update", does that work properly?

"rpm -qa | grep clam" output:

clamav-db-0.97.3-2.el6.x86_64
clamav-0.97.3-2.el6.x86_64
clamav-milter-0.97.3-2.el6.x86_64
clamd-0.97.3-2.el6.x86_64

I've done "yum clean all", and "yum update" - makes no difference, same error

Ah, I think I see what the problem is.

Are you using clamav-milter?

Most folks don't, unless you're explicitely installed that for a particular application, it's unlikely you require it.

I think it's causing the problem you're having though.

If you aren't using it, I'd suggest removing it, which you can do with this command:

rpm -e clamav-milter
