I'm unable to update EL-6 to the current version due to an insufficient curl version. Can you unpack the RPM and let me know which file is affected? I may be able to remove or replace it.
Would you be able to manually download the file and unpack it and check it from your end? I deleted my copy of the file as soon as it was detected as Im on a corporate network. I may be able to do some investigation at home if you cannot do that. This was detected by our Bluecoat Proxy appliance.
ClamTk says it's clean, so either it lacks that definition or it's a false positive.
