Bug 107098 – amavisd-new-2.3.3 won't start because of Compress::Zlib

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description mren 2005-09-24 10:39:35 UTC]

I've updated my amavisd-new from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 (stable x86). After the update I
merged the config files and want to restart amavisd-new. But I only get this
error message:

 * Starting amavisd-new ...
Problem in the Amavis::Unpackers code: Compress::Zlib version 1.35
required--this is only version 1.22 at (eval 55) line 18.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 55) line 18.

I have re-emerged Compress-Zlib (1.35 was already installed) and updated perl
(5.8.6-r5 -> 5.8.6-r6) but nothing helped.

Have you run perl-cleaner? 

[Comment 2 mren 2005-09-24 11:11:58 UTC]

I have run "perl-cleaner all" now. But it didn't change anything - the error
still exists.

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-09-24 11:19:43 UTC]

Well, then you have a stale file somewhere in /usr/lib/perl5 that was not
installed by portage... Ideally, you should have nothing else then 5.8.6 there
(and in site_perl and vendor_perl subdirectories).

Thanks, that was the problem. I had "/usr/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.8.0". After I
moved it away amavisd starts now. I never noticed that dir before, never had any
problem with it.

Thanks for reporting back, closing.
