Bug 60201 – QMail-Scanner 1.22 fail to detect f-prot antivirus, path error in configure script

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description GRIMLER Nicolas 2004-08-13 02:21:13 UTC]

When emergeing qmail-scanner 1.22-r1, the configure script inspect the system in order to find installed scanners (antivirus, spam filter, ...).

If f-prot is installed in /opt/f-prot (default directory from f-prot ebuild) qmail-scanner don't detect it.

After emerging various versions of f-prot (from 4.3.1 up to 4.4.2) and qmail-scanner (from 1.16 up to 1.22-r1) and trying to install manually the qmail-scanner 1.23 from sources (http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net) I've take a look at the configure script in order to find where it's looking for F-Prot.

In the script, the path for f-prot is /usr/local/f-prot but Portage install it in /opt/f-prot. So I've change path to the right location and qmail-scanner detect and modify qmail-scanner-queue.pl correctly with good things.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge f-prot
2. emerge >=qmail-scanner-1.16


Actual Results:  
During the configure, you can see something like this:

Content/Virus Scanners installed on your System
fast_spamassassin=/usr/bin/spamc
Qmail-Scanner details.

and above:

silent-viruses='klez',<...>,'winevar'
scanners="fast_spamassassin"

Expected Results:  
Content/Virus Scanners installed on your System
fprot=/opt/f-prot/f-prot
fast_spamassassin=/usr/bin/spamc
Qmail-Scanner details.

and above:

silent-viruses='klez',<...>,'winevar'
scanners="fprot_scanner","fast_spamassassin"

Created attachment 37332 [details, diff]
Diff file of configure script for path correction

The .diff file attached show you where to change the path in the configure
script or can be user to modify the .ebuild of qmail-scanner.

[Comment 2 Robin Johnson 2004-08-14 14:55:40 UTC]

f-prot is detected perfectly fine for me.
we specify it in the PATH statement inside the ebuild.

qmail-scanner 1.23 is in CVS now.
The additional spamassassin patch is not yet available for this version, so I've dropped it for the moment.
