Oh perfect, thank  you very much for information. I will wait for the packages 
to be released in the Epel and see how it goes.

Best,
Prabin

Under most circumstances I would expect that to be sufficient, yes.

It should be very rare for this to be necessary, and I'd consider it a failure 
of both upstream measures to retain backward compatibility and of the stated 
intent of the packaging system(s).  But stranger things have happened - usually 
it would be because of substantial changes in the capabilities of the package, 
or the way(s) that they are provided.

Re: [clamav-users] When was 0.103.1 announced on *this* list?

[Tamang, Prabin]

I do not know when it was announced but if  you go to the ClamAV website and 
under downloads there is the newer version available which was released on the 
3rd of Feb [This month]

I save all the ClamAV mail, and couldn't find an announcement.

[clamav-users] Updating ClamAV

[Tamang, Prabin]

Good morning,

OS: RedHat 8

I had installed the clamav from an epel release by taking the packages 
individually rather than downloading the entire epel
And now, few days ago there was an update release on clamav from 0.103.0 to 
0.103.1, but when I run "yum update clamav" it does not update to the latest 
version!!

My guess is that in epel, newer version of clamav package has not been listed 
yet, but I was just wondering if simply running  "yum update clamav" will do 
the job once the new version of clamav is posted in the epel?
Or will I have to uninstall the current version of clamav, then get the package 
from the epel and the do the installation process again?

Any help will be much appreciated, thank you :)
