Hello!
I'm using SpamAssassin through amavisd-new, installed from these FreeBSD
ports:
amavisd-new-20030616.p7
p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.62
Today, I made some changes to my local.cf and then ran
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/amavisd.sh stop, followed by
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/amavisd.sh start.
To my surprise, amavisd failed to start with the following error
message:
Problem in the antispam code: Can't use subscript on split at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Mail/SpamAssassin.pm line 100, near "1]"
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 50) line 11.
I reversed my changes to local.cf and tried again, but got the same
error message. I also tried removing local.cf entirely, but the error
message still remained.
Relevant passage of SpamAssassin.pm is this:
-------------------------------< cut >-------------------------------
# If you hacked up your SA, add a token to identify it here. Eg.: I use
# "mss<number>", <number> increasing with every hack.
@EXTRA_VERSION = qw();
if (defined $IS_DEVEL_BUILD && $IS_DEVEL_BUILD) {
push(@EXTRA_VERSION, ( 'r' . qw{$LastChangedRevision: 6141 $ updated by
SVN}[1] ));
}
-------------------------------< cut >-------------------------------
Line 100 is the one starting with push. When I comment out this line,
amavisd+SA load fine and seem to work OK, even after I put back my local.cf
file including today's modifications.
However, I'd like to find out what caused the problem. I haven't upgraded
SA nor amavisd-new nor anything else I can think of on this server for a
month or so, and I haven't had this problem before. Come to think of it, the
only
time I've run 'amavisd.sh start' with this version of amavisd+SA was
immediately
after the last upgrade of amavisd+SA, since then it has been running
continuously.
But it must have worked then.
Maybe there is something in the Perl code above that is immediately obvious to
anyone knowing Perl, but IANAP.
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
