Strange Errors from SA 3.0
Hi all,
I keep getting strange errors like this from spamassassin:
sa-learn --dump magic
bayes db version 2 is not able to be used, aborting! at
/usr/lob/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore/DBM.pm
line 160.
ERROR: Bayes dump returned an error, please re-run with -D for more information
Sometimes it is db version 0 instead of 2.
Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks!
Erik

BTW: even if the upgrade went correctly, this could also be

So I've been doing some more reading, and I guess I should be stopping
SA before I run sa-learn --sync. How do I stop it form the shell
prompt? I am somewhat of a newbiew to linux administration....
Thanks!

I don't think this got through to the list (I haven't seen it)..
Just in case, here goes once more...
I had a similar experience installing. Apparently I didn't let the original
command finish converting the database to version 3. What I ended up doing
is going into my bayes directory and deleting the .lock files including the
ones with process ids (or move them if you do not want to take chances).
Once all of the lock files are gone, run
sa-learn --sync -D
The sa-learn command will notice that the db is version 2 and starts to
update it to version 3 (took a while for my machine).. Once it's updated,
then it's only a matter of going through your .cf files.. Check for the
"warning:"
messages in the
spamassassin --lint -D
output..
That took me a while, too.. For some reason any rules with descriptions > 50
generates a warning. They show up as errors at the end of the --lint -D..
So, I went through each cf file and made sure my descriptions were < 50
characters long..

Hi all,
I keep getting strange errors like this from spamassassin:
sa-learn --dump magic
bayes db version 2 is not able to be used, aborting! at
/usr/lob/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore/DBM.pm

Sometimes it is db version 0 instead of 2.
Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks!
