Not a fatal error, just need to get the pgp (or is it gnupg?) pbulic key for the maintainer/signer to verify integrity of the rpm.

[/tt]Have you got the cron daemon installed?

[/tt]Not sure if the clamav rpm provides libclamav (this says it does though). But overall, it looks like rpm is telling clamav that the cron daemon isn't installed, which clamav feels is an absolute necessity for it to run (I believe it uses cron to update it's signatures automagically, at least my clamav-70 built from source does).

'Proper' fix? Install cron package. 30-pound-hammer fix? [tt]rpm --force -Uvh clamav-0.70-2.i386.rpm[/tt]
