Description 

The package conflict occurs when the cPanel-provided ClamAV is configured as installed while a third-party installation of ClamAV is installed. To correct the conflict, you must remove the third-party ClamAV installation or the cPanel-provided ClamAV configuration.

Workaround

1. Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
2. Run the following command for the desired option.
   • Remove the third-party ClamAV installation.

     • RHEL-based 8+

       dnf remove clamav* -y

     • Ubuntu

       apt remove clamav* -y

   • Remove the cPanel-provided ClamAV configuration.

     /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/update_local_rpm_versions --del target_settings.clamav
