Description

First presented itself with these symptoms:

**err: //clam/Package[clamav-update]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could not find package clamav-update**
notice: //basic_setup/File[/lumalocal]/ensure: created
warning: Value of 'preferred_serialization_format' (pson) is invalid for report, using default (marshal)
notice: Finished catalog run in 5.32 seconds
root@sv-tools01:~ # **yum search clam**
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
======================================================= Matched: clam =======================================================
...
**clamav-update**.i386 : Auto-updater for the Clam Antivirus scanner data-files
...

After using —debug —verbose I saw this:


debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '**/usr/bin/yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install clamav-update**'
debug: Puppet::Type::Package::ProviderYum: Executing '/bin/rpm -q clamav-update --nosignature --nodigest --qf %{NAME} %|EPOCH?{%{EPOCH}}:{0}| %{VERSION} %{RELEASE} %{ARCH}                                                                               
'                                                                                                                            
**err: //clam/Package[clamav-update]/ensure: change from absent to present failed: Could not find package clamav-update**

I then manually ran the yum command:

# **yum -d 0 -e 0 -y install clamav-update**
Package **clamav-update is obsoleted by clamav-db**, trying to install clamav-db-0.96.2-2.el5.rf.i386 instead
Package **clamav-db-0.96.2-2.el5.rf.i386 already installed and latest version**

Click the More link after you’ve clicked Update. There is a Preview button too. Sorry it can be hard to find. Your markup is fixed for now.

The word more in your sentence is the only place on this page it appears, before or after clicking Update for me.
