Sure enough.   Installed Software reports v6.3.2-1.

I ran it through the update via the GUI and the progress bar made it to 
100% but the message was hung on the installation of Milter-GeoIP, which 
bears out in the log:


Installation of solarspeed_net-AVSPAM-v7.2.1-1 
--------------------------------------
ERROR: Problem installing RPM: 
solarspeed-milter-geoip-0.98-4.noarch.rpm.  Aborting.

And that goes on and on, I guess with the cron that is attempting to 
complete the installation.

Yes, that's done now.

So now we're at the point where I might typically try a yum reinstall 
<packagename>.  However:

# yum reinstall solarspeed-av_spam-core
Loaded plugins: blueonyx, fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
  * BlueOnyx-5209R: mirror.blueonyx.de
  * Solarspeed.net-AVSPAM-v72: mirror.smd.net
  * base: mirror.vacares.com
  * extras: mirror.arizona.edu
  * updates: tx-mirror.tier.net
Installed package solarspeed-av_spam-core-6.3.2-1.noarch not available.
Error: Nothing to do

Ah... so that probably explains why the failures continue.   The system 
doesn't know to be pulling out of the 7.2.3-1?

Any recommendations for walking it through from here?

Thanks!
