So did you install the newest clamav package from the EPEL repo then
update it to the new package you are working on?  Or test with a older
previously release EPEL package updated to the newest currently released
EPEL package? 

I noticed your virus database moved locations after the update, I would
be interested to know what the new spec file would do if you did a
update with it, from one version of a clamav package based on your spec
file, to a updated version based on the same spec file. (virus database
not moving locations).

I used Fedora 14 & Fedora 14 clamav packages for my tests (I think I
stated this in my previous msg), figuring that since the existing EPEL
package is based on the Fedora one, that it would be pretty close.  My
production CentOS boxes are using packages based off the newest Fedora
clamav package.  I'm lacking a non-production RHEL/CentOS 5 box for testing.

I do not know if the spec file you created will ever produce the
behavior I was able to produce on my Fedora box when it's updated or
not, but if can make sure the issue is addressed now (if it's present),
it's one less bug report later.
