I finally saw the big changes done to clamav. The packaging is completely 
different, and woun't immediately work with amavisd-new from F14 or EPEL5. 
Without the "clamav-server" server package (now there's only a clamd 
providing standalone clamd-service), amavisd-new woun't be able to use the 
"clamd-wrapper" to create it's own scanner. When trying to run amavisd-new 
directly against the "clamd", I'm getting selinux denials.

These problems should be the same for this package in EPEL5 (where amavisd-new 
is available).  IMHO this update shouldn't be pushed for EPEL4 and EPEL6 
before the solution for EPEL5 packaging is clear.
