Just meant it as typical cander.
Not to hands on compared to some just change clam.conf.rpmnew to
clam.conf and be glad that all you have to do. Some things are a *pain*.
Look 3 days back for my post on clamav not upgrading.

There's no such thing as a hands-off ClamAV upgrade. :-/


Why not? If you use all the current versions there is. yum remove what
you have or rpm -e what you have and Reinstall! Sort of hands off.


It *COULD* be a hands-off upgrade as long there are no upgrade notes 
listed at  for the new 
version.  If there are notes about the version you are upgrading to, you 
can plan on clamd not starting after the upgrade until you modify your 
clamd.conf to account for the changes in the upgrade notes.

After enduring failed starts several times, I now just assume that the 
ClamAV developers have changed configuration syntax any time there's a 
version upgrade. I further assume that my configuration file will 
contain obsolete or errant directives that will prevent the upgraded 
clamd from starting.


There's no such thing as a hands-off ClamAV upgrade. :-/

The version you have is very outdated.  rpmforge has updated packages that work
well.  I highly recommend them.
