Description Stelian Ionescu 2005-01-24 10:49:55 UTC 
if the flag "berkdb" is enabled spamassassin-3.0.2 pulls in dev-perl/DB_file, but the DB_File module is already supplied with perl >=5.8.5 and installing it fails because i have enabled "collision-protect" in FEATURES.
I suggest applying the following patch to all the spamassassin ebuilds

DB_File is a part of all perl installs, not just 5.8.5. The dep is because spamassassin requires a newer version than what your got with 5.8.5.

i see that now the newest version of DB_File in portage is 1.808, but perl's changelogs show that perl-5.8.5 contains DB_File-1.809 and perl-5.8.6 contains DB_File-1.810. I also see that the newest version of DB_File in CPAN is 1.810: http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=DB_File
therefore the newest version of DB_File that spamassassin can use now is the one supplied with perl
