problems running sa-update

[Matthias Leopold <ma...@aic.at>]

hi,

i have a self-compiled installation of SA 3.2.5 on a rather old redhat 
system (RH 7.3, perl v5.6.1). SA is installed in 
/usr/local/SpamAssassin-3.2.5. when i run 
"/usr/local/SpamAssassin-3.2.5/bin/sa-update -D" i get the following error:

[13623] dbg: channel: file verification passed, testing update
[13623] dbg: channel: extracting archive
Could not open 'IO::Zlib=GLOB(0x8d7581c)' for reading: No such file or 
directory at /usr/local/SpamAssassin-3.2.5/bin/sa-update line 969
No data could be read from file at 
/usr/local/SpamAssassin-3.2.4/bin/sa-update line 969
fatal: couldn't create Archive::Tar object!

IO::Zlib and Archive::Tar were installed with CPAN module. apart from 
sa-update problem SA is working fine. any idea what my problem is?

thx
matthias

ok, sorry, my fault...

i do have two installations (SpamAssassin-3.2.4, SpamAssassin-3.2.5) in 
/usr/local. i tried "sa-update" with both of them and both give the same 
error, of course with correct paths. i only tried SpamAssassin-3.2.4 
last, took the error message and edited it (incompletely) for my post to 
make it more concise. i suppose i achieved just the opposite...

I'd first investigate why you have two different paths in the log.
