I just updated my SpamAssassin to 3.3.1. Maybe not the correct place to
mention it, but I find the
perl -MCPAN -e shell
not working very well. There was a message that the Perl version 5.8.6
was outdated, but I only saw it, because I was watching the output. With
the very big stream of output, it was something that is easily
overlooked. I had also to install a lot of modules by hand.
After the update to Perl 5.10.1 I get the message:
Terminal does not support AddHistory.
and cursor up for a previous given command does not work anymore. Very
annoying. :-{
But those are things that are annoying, but not more. But when I now
use:
sa-learn --dump magic
I get:
ERROR: Bayes dump returned an error, please re-run with -D for more
information
so I used:
sa-learn -D --dump magic
which ends with:

So I would think my problem is that I need to install DB_File. But when
I do:
install DB_File
I get:
Parsing config.in...
Looks Good.
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Failed during this command:

So it looks like I am missing a file version.c. What is happening here
and what can I do about it?
Also with the script I use to run sa-update I created a log file. When I
do:
grep 'not installed\|warning' sa-update.log
I get:

The first is the same as with sa-learn, but not fatal.
When I give:

I get:

When I give:
install Net::Ident
it ends with:

And what about the warnings avout 'score set for non-existent rule', is
this something to worry about?
