Description 

This occurs when the cPanel update attempts to install cpanel-clamav when a third-party installation of ClamAV is installed. The cPanel update attempts to install cpanel-clamav if the RPM target is set to installed in the /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions file.

Example:

# cat /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions
---
file_format:
version: 2
target_settings:
clamav: installed

Workaround

Option 1: If you do not need cpanel-clamav, run the following script to remove the RPM target from the /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions file:

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

Option 2: If you prefer to use cpanel-clamav, run the command below to remove the third-party ClamAV installation (replace $PACKAGE with the third-party ClamAV packages causing conflicts during the cPanel update).

yum -y remove $PACKAGE
