Clamav, Webmin and Yum update problem

[mdtiberi]

I am attempting to yum update package libxslt.x86_64 but run into dependency errors with clam. The issue is that I installed ARTS clam packages in favor of Webmin's. Installed packages are:

[root@ns1 ~]# rpm -qa clam*
clamav-db-0.94.2-3.el5.art
clamav-0.94.2-3.el5.art
clamd-0.94.2-3.el5.art

when I run yum update I get the following errors:

The thing is that none of the clam vm packages are installed yet the dependencies are there. So what to do? Rebuild the rpm database? remove ARTS clam packages, install vm's packages then update and reinstall ART? At a loss, thanks.

whose packages are .vm? Sounds like they use a conflicting design

[mdtiberi]

They are webmin/virtualmins packages

[scott]

Gotcha, you might need to exclude and remove those .vm packages for the time being. Until we can see what their design is.

[mdtiberi]

None of the .vm packages are actually installed from what I can see with rpm-qa. How do I go about excluding the .vm dependencies from a yum update?

[mdtiberi]

ok, got it:

yum update --exclude=*.vm.el5

worked fine, didn't know you could do this.

Thanks

[scott]

you could add exclude=clam* to that .repo file too
