Can you tell me why 0.98.1 creates a new user

  clamav:x:496:497:Clam Anti Virus Checker:/var/clamav:/sbin/nologin

as opposed to 0.98's

  clam:x:497:498:Clam Anti Virus Checker:/var/lib/clamav:/sbin/nologin

This has caused us some issues...

Ben,

Package creates a user. It does not specify UID nor GID, see

https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/blob/b69e2f6ac5c334abf382bbc579d0ccc84ff9a8ff/specs/clamav/clamav.spec#L289.
See also the last commit diff, there's no change with the user:

https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/commit/b69e2f6ac5c334abf382bbc579d0ccc84ff9a8ff

the username is different (clamav vs clam), as well as the homedir. OP, are you sure you didn't switch repos, eg between epel and rf?

Having consulted with some of the other admins here it appears that that could indeed be the issue. My apologies to David/Repoforge. The 0.98 RPMs were manually downloaded from EPEL (there was no epel.repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/), I added repoforge-updates.repo and what happened happened.

Thanks for the solution/reason,

Ben
