Thanks Stephen.

So is it sufficient to simply remove the:

  type clamscan_tmp_t;

line and retain the rest of the content or are the other changes that
should be made in light of the new clamav module?

Paul, I presume that you will also want to increment the version number?

Also, as an FYI, this is the second time that I have experienced an RPM
related error with the policies. Paul, you may recall a few weeks ago,
there was a partial install of an update RPM, which was not actually
loaded, but rpm reported both versions being installed. Not sure if this
is unique to my system or if others may be having any issues. I have not
checked Bugzilla for any reports on these.
