cat /usr/bin/spamd | head -n 1 #!/usr/bin/perl5.8.4 -w and other executionable are also. so, when i upgrade my perl to 5.8.5, it does not run. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install spamassassin 2. upgrade perl version 3. try to run spamassassin Actual Results: # spamassassin -bash: /usr/bin/spamassassin: /usr/bin/perl5.8.4: bad interpreter: No such file or directory It does not run. Expected Results: It should run
Looks like you failed to run the libperl rebuilder script as noted by the end of the perl merge.
note after perl merge says, If this is an upgrade to a perl 5.6.1 system, ~OR~ an upgrade to a previous Gentoo release of perl 5.8.0, prior to -r8 you may need to recompile applications that were emerged against the old libperl.so AND, I just did minor upgrade 5.8.4->5.8.5 and there should not be libperl.so problem. that warning message isn't enough. and even though, interpreter declare in spamassasin script #!/usr/bin/perl5.8.5 -w is not good form, isnt it? other perl script like auto-tools or anything do #!/usr/bin/perl or #!/usr/bin/perl -w
Yeah, that's a known problem with SpamAssassin's Makefile.PL and Perl -- it doesn't always auto-detect the perl binary correctly. There's a patch in bug 62276 for which I still hope that somebody will create a 2.64-r1 ebuild... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 62276 ***
