I'm unable to figure out the dependency problems for 
old clamav-filesystem on RHEL5.

	# yum localinstall clamav-db-0.97-8.el5.x86_64.rpm clamd-0.97-8.el5.x86_64.rpm clamav-0.97-8.el5.x86_64.rpm

 	You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 	You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
	The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

This was with clamav-db obsoleting and providing clamav-filesystem:

	Provides: clamav-filesystem = %{version}-%{release}
	Obsoletes: clamav-filesystem < %{version}-%{release}

I'm now wondering if there might be a problem with the old
clamav-filesystem package. It has some conflicts listed (which
I don't know what means":

# rpm -q --queryformat 'CONFLICTS: %{CONFLICTS}\nCONFLICTVERSION: %{CONFLICTVERSION}\nCONFLICTFLAGS: %{CONFLICTFLAGS}\nCONFLICTNAME: %{CONFLICTNAME}\n' clamav-filesystem
CONFLICTS: clamav
CONFLICTVERSION: 0.95.1-1.el5
CONFLICTFLAGS: 2
CONFLICTNAME: clamav

Looking at the old spec-file, it the clamav-filesystem package has:

	Conflicts:      %name < %version-%release
	Conflicts:      %name > %version-%release

	http://fpaste.org/6PwF/

But -- I still don't understand why this isn't resolved when upgrading
clamav-db obsoletes and provides clamav-filesystem. Is the problem maybe
that during the upgrade both packages will be installed, and that 
triggers this conflict ?

Any suggestions for how to fix this ?
