[SOLVED] Mageia 1 : spamassassin broken ?

[ankif]

I bet something must be wrong with my installation because I haven't found any topic about spamassassin being broken in Mageia 1. However, I'm using a fresh install after repartitioning my hard drive so I don't understand what went wrong.

I'm using evolution 2.32.2 along with SpamAssassin version 3.4.0-r929098 running on Perl version 5.12.3.

The symptoms : error messages in Evolution whenever it receives new messages. New messages are stored in spam folder. The detailed message is something like "spamassassin returned error code 255".

What I have tried : spamassassin --lint states "no rules were found! Do you need to run 'sa-update'?". sa-update spits out errors when trying to retrieve updates.

Finally I made ugly hacks in sa-update to bypass several pitfalls. So my problem is solved. But I still wonder why I am alone to report this. If someone had the slightest idea...

I quickly checked Mageia 2 alpha 2 : evolution seems to have changed quite a bit in its 3.3.3 release, I couldn't find any reference to spamassassin. I guess I will have the surprise when I switch to Mageia 2 !

Would you please post the output of

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep spamassassin

FWIW, there are some bugs reported against Mageia 1 spamassassin:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3814
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3712

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep spamassassin
spamassassin-3.3.2-0.0.r2260312.1.mga1


But thanks for the links to the bug reports. Actually, bug 3814 is what I have encountered, and the correction proposed by Remco is very close to my own workaround (mine is dirtier to be honest ). The problem lies indeed in the version which is computed.

OK, now I'm happy : I'm not the only one.

And since I have found a workaround, the topic can marked as solved.

Thanks !

You can do this yourself, just edit the topic of the first post, and prefix it with [SOLVED]
