Hi all,
I'm unsure on how to fix a problem I have with sa-update (SA 3.4.1) on
CentOS 6, where /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004001/ doesn't contain rules.
Steps to reproduce:
1. install spamassassin
2. remove connection to the internet (ip ro del default)
3. run sa-update
4. look into /var/lib/spamassassin/3.004001: no rules (only empty dirs)
5. restart spamd or amavisd: failure
spamd[10720]: config: no rules were found! Do you need to run 'sa-update'?
amavis[3575]: (!!)TROUBLE in pre_loop_hook: config: no rules were
found! Do you need to run 'sa-update'?
Moreover, the default centos sa-update cron job, checks for a running
copy of spamd or amavisd, that are probably not to be found, so the
problem will never fix by itself.
I think I've tracked the problem to the following commit:
https://github.com/apache/spamassassin/commit/2fbb0ec17904ffd9369f53c891e75ad05211bd53
but I'm unsure on hot to fix it.
Should I move the mkpath call to where it was before the commit?
Thank you.
Why are you running sa-update without an internet connection? It
requires one to fetch the latest rules.
