clamav dependincy error

[alonebfg]

Ok I might be running befor i can walk. Have dansguardian installed fine all working but have a problem with clamav out of date ave tried to update useing package but complanes of libgmp3 not being installed. I know i have libgmp3-dev installed and a few others but this does not fix the problem

[Geoff]

Use aptitude to install it rather than apt-get. It handles these sort of dependency chains better.

[alonebfg]

I have tried to do that but I does not work as there is a issue with dansguardian everytime i do this its driving me nuts and i was not apt-get ing it i was doing a manual package install

[Geoff]

Why are you installing the package manually?

[alonebfg]

because the apt-get is out of date the engien is out of date and keeps comming up with warnings. I have downloaded the 8 clamav 0.91.2-0volatile1_i386.deb packages then try to install them via dpkg -i but keeps comming up with the above errors.

[Geoff]

It's not a big deal that the engine is out of date.

 

Can you run 'dpkg -l libgmp3c2' and post the output?

[alonebfg]

hello i hope tis is what you are looking for ??

root@webserver:/home/admin# dpkg -l libgmp3c2

now i am still getting the same errors

 

seems like it is not just me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=154268

its this silly libgmp3 problem

[alonebfg]

ok found this on one of the fourms and looks like it might work http://www.qustodium.net/HOWTO_Backport_clamav_0.91_to_Ubuntu_Dapper_Drake going to try it tonight on my test platform ??

[Geoff]

Those instructions look sensible. In fact, they seem familiar. I had to build a 64bit version of clamav a while back and I could swear I used the same method to get it to work.

[alonebfg]

ok it dont work keep getting this error
