There's a difference between a . and a -

There's a difference between 0.88.2 and 0.88-2

A new version of clamav (0.88.2) was released yesterday.  The RPM for 
it, when it is released, will probably be called 0.88.2-1.  The -# is 
just a redhat/rpm thing, and has nothing to do with the package version.

0.88-2 is the second RPM packaging of clamav-0.88, and is older than the 
first rpm packaging of clamav-0.88.1 (which was called 0.88.1-1). 
That's why yum didn't do anything when you tried to "upgrade".
