If you emerge Mail-SpamAssassin-2.31-r3.ebuild first, then the 2.43 will 
emerge without any trouble.

-r1 is in portage. Added more lines to myconf so that it would build in the
sandbox and then install correctly (see the top of the Makefile.PL for notes)

[Comment 3 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2002-10-28 05:57:17 UTC]

Thomas, is this working for you now that the corrected version is in portage?

[Comment 4 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2002-11-05 10:16:48 UTC]

Can this be closed? 

[Comment 5 Thomas T. Veldhouse 2002-11-05 10:23:51 UTC]

I would only be able to test this by installing on a virgin 1.4 system, which I 
don't have.  As far as I am concerned, this can be closed, as it appears 
correct.
