At beginning of the year after 15 years using MS Mail/Outlook I ported my E-Mail system to a server based setup using Dovecot IMAP and Roundcube Webmail and/or Apple Mail client. I'm using Debian Stable on the server.
3 months ago I installed Spambayes on the server using MySQL as storage backend. Here are some remarks and questions. - The Debian stable package 1.0.4 is really old. Because of an error in this version in the MySQL connect code SpamBayes/MySQL can not work. - When I looked into Debian Unstable I discovered that there the same old version of SpamBayes is in. Here for the first time the question came up: Is SpamBayes on Debian still maintained? Is the maintainer here on the list? The last entry in Debian changelog is a 'non-maintainer-upload'. - After fixing the MySQL connect bug and running the initial training the next problem came up: "assert spamcount <= nspam, "Token seen in more spam than spam trained."" - After that I decided to use newer code. Building a Debian package from the 1.1a4 code was a thing of around 15 minutes. The code from that package was running for around 8 weeks very stable. - But last week the error came back (see below). It seems that this bug is known to the developers? It is fixed in a newer version? - Next problem: Building a Debian package from the SVN trunk fails while it works fine in the same environment for 1.1a4. Does somebody understand what is causing this error?
