When trying to update to the latest Spamassassin, it starts finding 'missing symbols' in DB_File, hits an infinite depth of some function, and consumes all memory. I don't have the log as I did this last night and was beat at the time - sorry! But it seems that Spamassassin just isn't compatable with the latest version of dev-perl/DB_File - on my system, at least. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
'emerge info'? what version of DB_File do you have? 'emerge -p perl DB_File' ? include the error output.

Charles, I updated my DB_File to the current version and could not reproduce your problems. What exactly do you do to stumble upon this bug? Is it already happening in the 'make test' stage?
Just tried again, same result.

Something rather cool. Since this was 'just a test', a 'killall perl' made it jump the test and continue, and sure enough SpamAssassin 2.63 is now installed and working. (I had to upgrade because a DB_File upgrade, I think, prevent 2.61 from working!)
Ah. but sa-learn now borks: charlie@mightymax ibex $ sa-learn --spam --mbox ~/evolution/local/Spam/subfolders/Missed/mbox /usr/bin/perl: relocation error: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i686-linux/auto/DB_File/DB_File.so: undefined symbol: db_version_4000
emerge DB_File again then spamassassin again.
Hmmm... that's most probably a DB_File problem and not a SpamAssassin bug. I've heard of both errors before; the first is normally a DB_File bug but might also be caused by a corrupt Bayes DB (I think). The latter happens if the previous version of an XS module was not cleanly uninstalled. In this case it's the version shipped with Perl, so it might also be a @INC gobbledygook.
charlie@mightymax charlie $ sa-learn /usr/bin/perl: relocation error: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i686-linux/auto/DB_File/DB_File.so: undefined symbol: db_version_4000 Still doing it. Trying 'emerge -C DB_File && emerge dev-perl/DB_File-1.803-r2' (was 1.807).
Well that's fixed SpamAssassin for me. The problem was with DB_File 1.807 afaik. Does anybody else have that installed?
could you include the output of 'emerge -p unmerge sys-libs/db' ? I'm using perl-5.8.2-r1, libperl-5.8.2, and DB_File-1.807 without any problems.
mightymax games-strategy # emerge -p unmerge sys-libs/db >>> These are the packages that I would unmerge: sys-libs/db selected: 1.85-r1 4.0.14-r1 4.1.25_p1-r3 3.2.9-r10 protected: none omitted: none >>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. >>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
whoa i see the problem sys-libs/db-4.0 isn't up to date. please upgrade it to 4.0.14-r3 and then re-merge perl and DB_File (in that order) and try spamassassin again.
Surely the DB_File or the perl ebuild should be updated dev-sys/db?
i don't know why your db is out of date, it should have been pulled in by perl AFAIK.
Well upgrading db from 4.014-r1 ro 4.014-r3 didn't help. The results were identical wrt emerging Mail-SpamAssassin.
I can't seem to reproduce this at all. This seems more like some weird combination of db and DB_File than a SpamAssassin bug. Is this still the case? It could also be the CFLAGS that are here - I would suggest trimming them down to something a bit more conservative and rebuilding db, DB_File, and SA, in that order. If you still have old versions of db floating around that could cause problems as well.
Hmm it works for me now (at least, SA is working and I'm sure it's up-to-date). One to come back to, if it reoccurs, I guess.
