   Fixed. I removed all files named 'spamassassin' and 'sa-*' from the
system; they were quite old (2012-2015). Then installed 40 perl modules and
a network tool as spamassassin dependencies followed by spamassassin. Ran
sa-update to get new rules (no longer included with SA), restarted spamd,
and it's up and running correctly. No errors running sa-learn on the spam
file.

It's been about a decade since I delved into writing perl module tests,
so I'm afraid I don't have much insight to offer here. You could
attempt to contact the maintainers of the Net::DNS package ("Net::DNS
is maintained at NLnet Labs (www.nlnetlabs.nl) by Willem Toorop.") for
assistance.

I tried installing Net::DNS on my laptop, but it installed without
errors. It seems like your problem is in the file ~/.cpan/build/Net-
DNS-1.12-0/t/08-IPv4.t, but I don't see anything in your output that
indicates what specifically might have happened. The version that
installed for me from CPAN was a later one (1.12), which has a
different number of tests indicated for that test file, 91 for me vs.
77 for you.

FYI, my output for that portion of the test suite looks like this:
t/08-IPv4.t ... 81/91 # non-existent \
'bogus.example.com.' resolved: 198.105.254.63 198.105.244.63
t/08-IPv4.t ... ok     

Sorry I can't be of more help here. Testing is great and all that, but
failing mysteriously isn't a whole lot better than no test at all,
IMHO.

You can try brute force on the CPAN command line:
 force  CMDtry hard to do command  
 fforce CMDtry harder
 notest CMDskip testing

so, either 'force install', 'fforce install', or 'notest install' in
this case, I think.

No guarantees that this won't result in compounded problems down the
line, though.

[PLUG] What to do when perl module installation fails

2017-09-11 Thread Rich Shepard 
   Running sa-learn this morning displayed a warning (error?) message not
before seen:

"Use of uninitialized value in numeric ge (>=) at
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Mail/SpamAssassin/Plugin/AskDNS.pm line 214.

   As root I tried to install Net::BSD using 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' and this,
too, failed:

   I've not had 'install ' fail before and need advice on how to
proceed to get the module installed so spamassassin is once again happy.

   The installed perl version is perl-5.22.2.
