upgrade ClamAV on CentOS: "Package clamav available, but not installed"

Hi I tried to upgrade ClamAV to latest version 099.2 (from 0.98.7). I ran:

yum update clamav

and I receive this message below and not sure what to do to have the upgrade done, thanks:

What do you get if you use 'yum install clamav' ? – Overmind – 2017-04-18T10:03:16.727

with yum install clamav, i can start installing the new 0.99.2 version of the software, but after installation is complete, i still have the 0.98.7 running when i check clamav's version. – Alan Song – 2017-04-19T05:38:12.383

Probably the daemon is still the old one. (Try also forcing an update of clamav-daemon, clamav-freshclam and libclamav6). I get 0.99.1 using autoupdate. – Overmind – 2017-04-19T07:05:33.697

whats the output of rpm -qa | grep -i clamav and yum list clamav? – Deeh – 2017-04-21T04:34:22.897

thanks I didn't get these messages as you do. mine just said: "No Packages marked for Update". I then did a yum install clamav and installed a 0.99.2, but still have the 0.98.7 running when i checked later. – Alan Song – 2017-04-20T03:49:24.810

but when i restart the service i do not get a warning saying my ClamAV is outdated anymore – Alan Song – 2017-04-20T04:01:27.203

sorry i don't know how to mark below as code in comment mode: root@sau-ee0dd-vs [~]# whereis clamd clamd: /usr/sbin/clamd /etc/clamd.d /etc/clamd.conf /usr/local/sbin/clamd /usr/local/etc/clamd.conf /usr/share/man/man8/clamd.8.gz – Alan Song – 2017-04-20T04:11:24.240

Re-trying the update will not show anything, of course; take a look at the previous logs for that. If you get no outdated warning, means the main files did update. – Overmind – 2017-04-20T06:07:55.517
