Hi,
 
I keep getting a "KeyError: 'epoch'" when I try to do a YUM update for ClamAV.  From some other discussion boards, I tried this:
 
yum clean all
 
which resulted in:
 
Cleaning up Everything
13 headers removed
12 packages removed
6 metadata files removed
3 cache files removed
I also tried "yum --disablerepo=rpmforge update" then tried "yum update clamav" which now gives me:

Anyone have any experience fixing this?  I'm running Fedora 3 (Kernel 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3snp)
Thanks,
Bryan
