Description Marco Favero 2015-09-24 07:31:20 UTC
Description of problem:

I have amavisd-new without local clamd server, because I configured it remotely through instream protocol.
I very appreciate if you could leave clamav and altermime dependencies.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

amavisd-new-2.10.1-4.el7

Now I forcedly removed clamav, but it is not good: 
** Found 3 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
amavisd-new-2.10.1-4.el7.noarch has missing requires of altermime
amavisd-new-2.10.1-4.el7.noarch has missing requires of clamav-server
amavisd-new-2.10.1-4.el7.noarch has missing requires of clamav-server-systemd

Thanks a lot

Couldn't you just simply mask the clamd service? It is used in the default config.

# systemctl mask clamd

And why you want to drop altermime? it is used by amavisd-new.

Ok, I can use this method and keep altermime. Thank you.

I would like to avoid to install clamav server because it is not mandatory on the same host of Amavis. If I don't install a not required clamav server I prevent confusion on administration.

Comment 3 Juan Orti 2015-10-27 09:59:52 UTC
I need the clamav-server dependency because amavisd-new install files in /etc/clamd.d/

Comment 4 Marco Favero 2015-10-27 10:58:13 UTC
Ok, anyway clamd is not a dependency on the same host for Amavis.
Clamd can be configured in STREAM protocol:

   ['ClamAV-clamd-stream',
    \&ask_daemon, ["*", 'clamd:clam.example.org:3310'],
     qr/\bOK$/m, qr/\bFOUND$/m,
     qr/^.*?: (?!Infected Archive)(.*) FOUND$/m ],

Regards

If the only reason for the dependency is the directory ownership, you can co-own the directory instead of having the dependency.

Comment 6 Juan Orti 2015-10-27 11:52:54 UTC
Ok, I see there is a clamav-filesystem package but it doesn't own the directory. I have opened a bug to move the ownership of the directory to that package and then I'll depend on it to avoid installing the full server.
