            Bug ID: 7004
           Summary: Test suite fails when using FreeBSD's "script" utility
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.4.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Building & Packaging
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

When using FreeBSD's "script" utility SpamAssassin's test suite fails. A sample
fail report may be seen here:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/b2ec3d14-8e96-11e3-b0bb-3364e0bfc7aa

Problem is that FreeBSD's "script" is setting the SCRIPT environment variable
(see
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=script&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=FreeBSD+10.0-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html
). This collides with the usage of the same environment variable in
SpamAssassin's test suite.

Possible fixes:
* Maybe SpamAssassin should use another environment variable name instead of
SCRIPT, maybe something which has "spamassassin" in its name?
* I can use a CPAN distroprefs file to undefine the value of the SCRIPT
environment variable. However, this would be just a private fix and won't help
if other FreeBSD users install their software under "script".

Regards,
    Slaven
