Package: spamassassin
Severity: normal
When trying to install spamassassin with :
> apt-get install spamassassin
I get this error message :
#################################
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
spamassassin: Depends: libarchive-tar-perl (>= 1.23)
E: Broken packages
##########################################################
so, as suggested I file a bug report against this package
Of course, I trued to install libarchive-tar-perl, but I got :
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libarchive-tar-perl is a virtual package provided by:
perl-modules 5.10.0-11
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package libarchive-tar-perl has no installation candidate
So I tried "apt-get install perl-modules"
And I got :
perl-modules is already the newest version.
