I've built all necessary dependencies for amavisd-new.

See:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=547729
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=547579
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=548472
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=548473

You should be able to install amavisd-new via yum tomorow.

Comment 2 Timothy Murphy 2014-07-29 14:13:40 UTC
I'm afraid this did not work.

1. amavisd-new requires perl-Unix-Syslog,
which is not in epel.repo but is in rpmforge.repo.

2. However, after installing this "sudo yum install amavisd-new"
brings up the error
-----------------------
Error: Package: clamav-server-systemd-0.98.4-1.el7.noarch (epel)
           Requires: clamav-server = 0.98.4-1.el7
           Available: clamav-server-0.98.4-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
               clamav-server = 0.98.4-1.el7
Error: Package: amavisd-new-2.9.1-1.el7.noarch (epel)
           Requires: clamav-server
           Available: clamav-server-0.98.4-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
               clamav-server = 0.98.4-1.el7
-----------------------

3. Now "sudo yum install clamav-server" brings up the warning
-----------------------
Package clamav-server is obsoleted by clamd, trying to install clamd-0.98.4-1.el7.rf.x86_64 instead
-----------------------

4. Now after clamd is installed, "sudo yum install amavisd-new"
brings up the error
-----------------------
Error: Package: clamav-server-systemd-0.98.4-1.el7.noarch (epel)
           Requires: clamav-server = 0.98.4-1.el7
           Available: clamav-server-0.98.4-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
               clamav-server = 0.98.4-1.el7
Error: Package: amavisd-new-2.9.1-1.el7.noarch (epel)
           Requires: clamav-server
           Available: clamav-server-0.98.4-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)
               clamav-server = 0.98.4-1.el7
-----------------------
which seems to have taken me in a circle.

I was able to install amavisd-new without problems.

It is in Fedora-EPEL.
See: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/x86_64/

> which seems to have taken me in a circle.

Please remove all rpmforge packages and install it only from EPEL repo. It is not a good idea to mix EPEL and rpmforge packages!

Comment 4 Timothy Murphy 2014-07-29 15:45:05 UTC
Please look more carefully at what I said in (1) above.

The package perl-Unix-Syslog, which amavisd-new required, was not in epel.
I don't like mixing Epel and Rpmforge, and don't have rpmforge.repo enabled, but in this case it appeared necessary to enable it temporarily to get this package.

As to the confusion with clamd/clamav-server, it is possible that the site yum found for me is not up-to-date. I will try again tomorrow, and see if I have better luck.

That's probably the case, because perl-Unix-Syslog-1.1-17.el7.x86_64.rpm *is* now in EPEL7, as mentioned by Morten in Comment #2 above.

Comment 7 Timothy Murphy 2014-08-04 14:10:28 UTC
I should have said earlier that I have now yum-installed amavisd-new.
I yum-removed clamav-server, and that solved the problem.
