Description Mitchell Berger 2010-11-15 22:02:59 UTC
Description of problem:
Since yesterday, clamav 0.96.1 has been producing warning
messages that it is outdated.  0.96.4 was released on
October 25, and 0.96.1 dates back to mid-May.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.96.1-1300.fc13

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure root's mail to go to you.
2. Allow the /etc/cron.d/clamav-update job to run.
 
Actual results:
E-mail warnings of this form every time the cron job runs:

LibClamAV Warning:                                                              ***********************************************************
LibClamAV Warning: ***  This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated.          ***
LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/support/faq      ***
LibClamAV Warning:                                                              ***********************************************************

Additional info:

0.96.2 was released August 12
0.96.3 was released September 20

I see that an update is in Bodhi and was pushed to testing a week ago.
I'll test it and provide feedback there, but it would be nice if this
could get pushed to production soon since it has started to send out
disconcerting warnings to users.

Comment 2 Mitchell Berger 2010-11-24 02:21:10 UTC
Well, what I was trying to convey was that the update had been
waiting for long enough that the decision to push it without
waiting for 3 votes could have been made, and that since the
behavior of clamav had changed such that it was spitting out
disconcerting warnings, it might be appropriate to do so.

In any event, the update has now been pushed, so I'll close
the ticket.
