Clamav-data-emtpy conflicts clamav-data

as @flatspin found in

nethserver-squidclamav (which calls ecap-clamav and clamav-data) conflicts with nethserver-antivirus which gets clamav-data-empty as dependency.

since ecap-clamav is built with clamav-devel, probably we cannot do something here, but nethserver-antivirus has a ‘Requires: clamav-data-empty’, so if we ‘obsolete’ it, we could add ‘Requires: clamav-data’.

@dev_team It is a valid bug

I can’t reproduce it, but I think we could safely add clamav-data-empty ad nethserver-squidclamav dependency.

easy to reproduce :slight_smile:

Sorry, but I think I’m missing something … :pensive:

I don’t see any resolution problem in the posted transaction.
I also tried to install both packages together but there was no conflict.

What am I missing?

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
[root@ns7rc41 ~]#

This happens if you have installed WebFilter from softwarecenter and you try to install nethserver-clamscan.

Thanks, now I see!

I will look into this.

Edit: I just had an idea: @stephdl could you try to add clamav-db-empty as dependcy of nethserver-clamscan and see what happens?

Another approach could be requiring the abstract symbol “data(clamav)”, instead of a package name:

rpm -q --provides clamav-data-empty-0.99.2-1.el7.noarch
clamav-data-empty = 0.99.2-1.el7
data(clamav) = empty

I don’t think it solves something, i have nethserver-antivirus (which gets clamav-data-empty) as dependency of nethserver-clamscan.

I guess the conflict is in the core side,you provide two conflicted rpm

I think @davidep is right.
clamav-data and clamav-data-empty should conflict because they offer the same files.
Packages should require “data(clamav)”, the sysadmin choose what package suits his needs. NethServer chose clamav-data-empty.

Not really accurate. This will happen if you try to install nethserver-antivirus and if nethserver-squidclamav is already installed.
