sa-learn and possibly all bayes on spamassassin is broken because a needed perl module has not been pulled in by portage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Do not have any of perl-core/DB_File or dev-lang/perl[berkdb] installed. Actual Results: # sa-learn --spam /var/spool/mail/mattias.merilai/.Spam/ Learned tokens from 0 message(s) (1 message(s) examined) ERROR: the Bayes learn function returned an error, please re-run with -D for more information at /usr/bin/sa-learn line 493. Running with -D gives: Nov 10 14:20:45.903 [11429] dbg: bayes: DB_File module not installed, cannot use bayes Expected Results: With any one of the two dependecies installed: # sa-learn --spam /var/spool/mail/mattias.merilai/.Spam/ Learned tokens from 17 message(s) (17 message(s) examined) Tested on hardened w/ mail-filter/spamassassin-3.3.2-r5, dev-lang/perl-5.18.2-r2 and perl-core/DB_File-1.827.0-r1 RDEPEND'ing spamassassin on virtual/perl-DB_File-1.827.0-r2 seems to be a fix. RDEPEND'ing spamassassin on virtual/perl-DB_File-1.829.0 seems to be a partial fix, since it does not consider perl[berkdb] as a provider. RDEPEND'ing spamassassin on virtual/perl-DB_File-1.831.0 goes into a mess of keyworded packages, which i will not try to unravel on a production machine.
Fixed.
Please revert. This is false, berkDB is not mandatory, there is other way to use bayes. You just have to enable ONE database backend and configure it (some does not need to be configured): postgres OR berkdb OR mysql OR sqlite. Personally I use postgres, and bayes is working, thanks (and berekdb is not installed on my system and I do not want it: I like to avoid packages with crappy licenses). Read the doc on how to configure it : /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-3.4.0/README.bayes.bz2 The correct fix is certainly not to remove berkdb USE flag, it looks like this: --- spamassassin-3.4.0.ebuild.orig 2014-11-30 07:09:52.330406552 +0100 +++ spamassassin-3.4.0.ebuild 2014-11-30 07:11:19.635099601 +0100 @@ -15,7 +15,9 @@ LICENSE="Apache-2.0 GPL-2" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="~alpha ~amd64 ~arm ~hppa ~ia64 ~ppc ~ppc64 ~s390 ~sh ~sparc ~x86 ~x86-fbsd ~amd64-linux ~x86-linux ~x86-macos" -IUSE="berkdb qmail ssl doc ldap mysql postgres sqlite ipv6" +IUSE="+berkdb qmail ssl doc ldap mysql postgres sqlite ipv6" + +REQUIRED_USE="|| ( berkdb mysql postgres sqlite )" DEPEND=">=dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r8 virtual/perl-MIME-Base64 Thanks !

Done as you suggested.
