ClamAV out of date

Running the paid version of VirtualMin and it reports:

Current state Running latest 0.96.5-1.vm.el5 Installed version 0.96.5-1.vm.el5 Available version 0.96.5-1.vm.el5

This is more than a year an half old (from late 2010)

The current version is 0.97.5, I was wondering when an update will be available?

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Howdy -- the most recent ClamAV version available in our repository for CentOS 5 is actually 0.97.3.

It sounds like, for some reason, you don't have the latest version there.

If you log into your server as root and run the command "yum update", does it offer to upgrade ClamAV?

If not, what is the output of these two commands:

rpm -qa | grep clamav
cat /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo

Hello,

I normally do not run yum directly, I update via the update function in virtualmin (which I know does basically the same thing. I didn't want to risk break anything just in case.

Running a yum update does not offer any updates (currently)

Hmm, that's odd that there isn't a virtualmin.repo file in there.

What does this command output:

ls /etc/yum.repos.d/

[root@host ~]# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Media.repo virtualmin.repo.rpmnew CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-Vault.repo virtualmin.repo.rpmsave

the virtualmin.repo.rpmnew was highlighted in red and the rpmsave had green text font.

Okay, it looks like we may just need to rename one of those two virtualmin files there.

Try running this command:

mv /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo.rpmsave /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualmin.repo

And then after that, try running this command to perform a software update:

yum update

Note that this will update all software from the Virtualmin repo, including Virtualmin itself.

That did it...

27 new updates, many to core packages (Usermin, Webmin, ClamAV, etc.)
