[clamav-users] Error message "outdated version" although "yum list installed" reports correct version of clamav

[Jobst Schmalenbach]

Hi.

Strange problem indeed:

[root /tmp] #>yum list installed "clamav*"
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Installed Packages
clamav.x86_64             0.98-2.el5.rf                         installed
clamav-db.x86_64          0.98-2.el5.rf                         installed
clamav-milter.x86_64      0.98-2.el5.rf                         installed

[root /tmp] #>su clamav -c /usr/bin/freshclam

I have checked the following:

 - all configuration files point to the same database directory
 - there is only one binary for each of the clamav things on the system
 - freshclam updates with no problems
 - clamconf report correct databases but also:
   Software settings
   -----------------
   Version: 0.98


Any ideas?
It has been complaining about this one for some time.
