OK, I have ClamAV milter 0.85-1.1.fc3.rf installed from DAG's repo.
There is a "newer" version now available in EXTRAs: 0.85.1-4.fc3
Howver, the builder of the EXTRAs packages did not build them like DAG
did, resulting in the clamd/clamav-server conflict seen below:

Error: Missing Dependency: clamav = 0.85.1-1.1.fc3.rf is needed by
package clamd
This has been discussed recently and the result was that it was noted
that the RPMs have been packaged differently.
My question is what is the intended resolution?
1) Uninstall the DAG RPMs and replace with the EXTRAs?
2) No need to do anything, they are equivalent?
3) Remove just clamd from DAG and replace it with clamav-server from
EXTRAs, and then run the update again?
It seems that DAG's clamav-milter had a dependency on his clamd RPM,
while the EXTRA's RPM doesn't, nor does it seem to have a dependency
on clamav-server, though the clamd and clamav-server packages both
contain /usr/sbin/clamd
I'm surprised that the resolution hasn't been discussed here before this.
After running into inconsistencies with earlier versions, I went to
compiling from source. Clam is a small set of programs and compiles
easily even on my 450 Mhz P3.
