Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.2.4-2
Severity: important
Hi,
I'm using spamc/spamd to filter my mails. I just discovered that spamd
was unable to run. Note that nothing appairs in the logs. I only got
some messages from spamc but not spamd :
May 19 08:02:05 cayuga spamc[32680]: connect to spamd on 127.0.0.1 failed,
retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused
Restarting spamd, I get :
vdanj...@cayuga:~/debian/mainteneur/fastphase$ sudo /etc/init.d/spamassassin
stop
Stopping SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: No /usr/bin/perl found running; none
killed.
spamd.
vdanj...@cayuga:~/debian/mainteneur/fastphase$ sudo /etc/init.d/spamassassin
start
Starting SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: spamd.
But spamd is not running at all
Starting it manually, I got :
vdanj...@cayuga:~/debian/mainteneur/fastphase$ sudo /usr/sbin/spamd
--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error:
/var/lib/spamassassin/compiled/3.002004/auto/Mail/SpamAssassin/CompiledRegexps/body_0/body_0.so:
undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr
Then, I tried :
vdanj...@cayuga:~/debian/mainteneur/fastphase$ sudo sa-compile /usr/bin/perl:
symbol lookup error:
/var/lib/spamassassin/compiled/3.002004/auto/Mail/SpamAssassin/CompiledRegexps/body_0/body_0.so:
undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr
I eventually find a workaround :
vdanj...@cayuga:~/debian/mainteneur/fastphase$ ls /var/lib/spamassassin/
3.001001/ 3.002000/ 3.002001/ 3.002003/ 3.002004/ compiled/

vdanj...@cayuga:~/debian/mainteneur/fastphase$
I think the problem is that the previous versions where compiled with
perl 5.8 and now my system has perl 5.10.
spamassassin (spamd) should handle this transition (for example by deleting
bad compiled files or, at least, printing a BIG warning).
Best regards,
Vincent
PS: I will keep the old /var/lib/spamassassin/compiled directory a few
days if you want to see it.
