This breaks mailfiltering on all systems that upgrade perl.

I ran into this one as well.

Comment 2 Malte S. Stretz 2004-09-15 08:05:06 UTC

Patch in progress...

Comment 3 Malte S. Stretz 2004-09-15 08:17:22 UTC

Created attachment 39646 [details, diff]
patch against spamassassin-2.64.ebuild

Here's the patch which works around the issue.	I'll see if I can make the
detection a bit more intelligent for 3.1.0.

Comment 4 Malte S. Stretz 2004-09-15 08:27:10 UTC

Reassigning to rac so he can commit the fix :)

Comment 5 Malte S. Stretz 2004-11-10 13:23:49 UTC

Reassigning to the Perl herd, maybe somebody wants to create a 2.64-r1 ebuild with this fix to bridge the time till 3.0 is marked stable?

Comment 6 Malte S. Stretz 2004-12-10 16:48:41 UTC

*** Bug 73612 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 7 David Röhr 2004-12-18 09:31:25 UTC

Not just the perl-binary path get wrong, but also the lib-path.

use lib '/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4';  # substituted at 'make' time

A re-emerge solves both issues.. Hoping 3.x will make it to stable soon.

Comment 8 Malte S. Stretz 2004-12-20 05:25:27 UTC

The lib path is correct.  If you install a perl module, it will go into the versioned path for the perl version you used to install it.  Later versions will also look into "older" libs.  This is true for every perl module.  (And the SpamAssassin apps are bound very tight to their libs.)

Comment 9 Malte S. Stretz 2004-12-21 16:46:41 UTC

Due to bug 64133 SpamAssassin 3.0.2 is on its way to be marked as stable and the bug is fixed in the 3.x ebuild.
