Fedora clamav package on CentOS 6

[Anne Wilson]

Every time CentOS has an update for ClamAV I have problems with it.  It
usually takes me 3-4 days to sort it out - not desirable - but this time
(on CentOS 6) I don't seem to be able to get it right.  It's been almost
two weeks now without a valid update.  Here are some of the symptoms:

Error messages such as

No updates detected in the log for the freshclam daemon (the
 ClamAV update process).  If the freshclam daemon is not running,
 you may need to restart it.

cat clamd.log

I found that "LogFileUnlock yes" was commented out in clamd.conf and
corrected that, but that doesn't seem to address these two issues.

ls -ld /var/lib/clamav
drwxr-xr-x 2 clam clam 4096 Jan 10 09:43 /var/lib/clamav

SELinux is disabled.

I also got the message (which I've seen in earlier updated versions)
about duplicate databases - i.e. /var/lib/clamav contained pairs of
files, daily.cld and daily.cvd, main.cld and main.cvd.  I checked
datestampes and renamed the older one of the pair.  That error message
hasn't surfaced since then.

The last version ran as clamav and all the relevant files were owned
clamav:clamav.  According to clamd.conf it is now running as clam, and
so I changed the ownership of all necessary (so far as I know) files and
directories to clam:clam.

Any ideas?  I'm getting pretty desperate now.
