Bug 319433 – mail-filter/spamassassin-fuzzyocr-3.6.0 cannot open log file /var/log/FuzzyOcr.log for writing

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Thomas Beutin 2010-05-12 15:34:55 UTC]

I've installed mail-filter/spamassassin-fuzzyocr and mail-filter/spamassassin and using spamassassin as milter for sendmail. Now my logfile is full of the following lines:

May 12 15:57:55 xxx spamd[6681]: Can't open /var/log/FuzzyOcr.log for writing, check permissions at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/FuzzyOcr/Logging.pm line 35.

# ls -ld /var/log
drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 3688 May 10 03:13 /var/log

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
i'd expected that spamassassin and related stuff is using the syslog (mail/* facility).

I'm also seeing these messages.

meanwhile, after updating dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r1 and mail-filter/spamassassin-fuzzyocr-3.6.0-r2, i get the following:

Oct 27 16:14:28 XXX spamd[4628]: rules: failed to run FUZZY_OCR test, skipping:
