epel question?

[kevin martin]

Perhaps this is not the correct place to ask this but going to the
fedoraproject main page is no help so....

Trying to install  clamav for EL6 and it keeps seeing clamav-0.99-3 but
clamav--0.99-3 doesn't exist anywhere but one mirror in Italy (from what
pbone tells me) and if I try to specifically download 0.99-2.1 I'm told the
package is not available (yet it's the only clamav package I see on the
mirrors).  Can somebody explain what I might do on my end to fix this
and/or why 99-3 is being advertised when 99-2 is clearly the only version
that should be?

I'm not running SL6 at present, but the UK mirror has this:

https://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel//6/x86_...

dated last June.  I don't see a later version in testing.

Yum sees the same version for SL7 and I have it (and several related 
packages) installed.  Maybe a corrupt cache somewhere?

Try 'yum --help' ?

The 0.99-3 package has been replaced months ago with 0.99.2-1,
which is a higher version. It seems you've confused that one with 0.99-2.1,
which doesn't exist.

You can always look up packages in the Fedora Updates System,
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=clamav
and the build system: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji
