I have that, too maybe it has something to do with the emerge process, I get an error there: ...

I can also reproduce this with spamassassin-3.1.8-r1. $ perl --version This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i686-linux It seems to have something to do with the UTF8 thing in the merge message. When I call: $ echo $LANG en_US.utf8 $ LANG=en_US spamassassin -D --lint it works
So, now I have it fixed and my spamassassin 3.2.1-r1 (patched ebuild) working. The problem for me was, that the ebuild didn't install the sys rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin/. With the proposed patch from: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-744239.html I got it working.
Is this still a problem? 3.2.5-r1 seems to work fine here for me. I am going to close the bug but please reopen if needed.
