[clamav-users] Daily 23161 broke Clam

[Chris Conn]

Hello,

That may be true, but you also have to maintain a self-compiled version 
of clamav now, and future updates you will need to re-do this.

This may be satisfactory to you as I don't of course know or understand 
your particular situation, but for the clamav userbase that is using 
RHEL5 (or CentOS5...) their clamd is now broken due to a package from 
the base repository being older than what that particular signature 
requires.

RHEL5 is not EOL for another 30 days :)
