I installed using yum :
atrpms-rpm-config-171-1
This is on a x86_64 system.

Well, I can't rule that out, but it must have been a long time ago than. I use 
smart or yum only normally. This system has gone from FC5->6->7->8 all via 
upgrades.

Meanwhile I solved my initial issue, which was getting dazuko to run with 
clamd. I installed it on an i686 system which didn't need any other kmdl 
packages. I'm currently testing it and so far things seem to be well. Getting 
dazoku to work with Fedora requires building a custom kernel because 
capability is build into the kernel and dazoku requires it to be compiled as 
module. The downside is that this isn't very nice if you need a lot of other 
kmdl packages.
