Anyone tried to upgrade clamav after QMR installation?

[consistgd]

I ran QMR isntallation adn it worked. But clamav gives a message that it is outdated. I downloaded latest clamav and clamav-devel from clamav.net adn ran rpm installation. It worked but clamd file from initd.d directory disapeared. Qmail stopped working. (451 qq...).
To make qmail working again I wanted to remove these new packages and install those provided by QMR. It did not work. I got rpm's messages that these packages is not installed. It is weird, becasue rpm -q shows they exists.
What do I do now?
Anyway, I wonder, were QMR's rpm packages come from? are they created by wevsite author? where to look for upgrade?

Forget about rpm -e issue! I just typed .rpm at the end of the package name, the is why it did not work.
The actual issue is where to find rigth RPMs to upgrade clamav. Whithout upgrade that virus database is not fully updated as I understand.

I personally found that building from source is the best way to go... but then again, I use slack. :D

I used the source to upgrade it...
Best way to go, previously I had qmail working and tried to use the RPM's to install ClamAV and it worked, but couldn't make sense of all the packages etc.
I use Debian 3.

depending what version of linux you use you can download from http://packages.sw.be/clamav/ all packed you need ... in this case you need clamd-0.93.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rp [ if you use 0.93.1 ].

If you do upgrade via rpm you have to install all this rpm [ example for ver 0.93.1 ]:

rpm -Uvh clamav-devel-0.93.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm clamav-db-0.93.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm clamav-0.93.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm clamd-0.93.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

if you upgrade from 0.8x to this version you have to verify the settings in /etc/clamav.conf and /etc/freshclam.conf :

in /etc/clamav.conf you have to be sure that User is set to qscand , clamd will restart but you will have problems in sending mails ...

in /etc/freshclam.conf to be sure that DatabaseDirectory is set to /var/clamav [ you can see where is your database directory in /etc/clamav.conf ] and AllowSupplementaryGroups set yes in /etc/clamav.con and /etc/freshclam.conf , if not the update will not work ...

Don't forget to restart clamd, update clamav , and check the logs to see if everything is fine ;)

This is what happen to me and how I fix it
