Run "locate spamd", "locate PerMsgStatus.pm", and resolve the two.  there
should only be one set of SpamAssassin perl modules in your system, and
this almost definitely is not the case, as it's picking up modules that do
not match the rules.

The Mail/SpamAssassin ones, yes.. everything else, no.

Probably...

I'd first try to use "yum remove". At least this will gracefully remove as much
as yum understands.

After that I'd check and see if rpm -qa thinks there's still some kind of SA
package installed and I'd rpm -e any that are left over.

>From there, do an updatedb and locate to see what's left over that couldn't be
removed by your package manager and wipe the leftovers out with rm. While this
might sound un-graceful, it's pretty much all you've got.

Suggested locate searches:
locate spamassassin
locate spamc
locate spamd
locate sa-learn
locate SpamAssassin

Make sure you hit pretty much everything in /usr. (ie: /usr/share/spamassassin/,
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/*/SpamAssassin, /usr/bin/, /usr/local/bin, etc.)


After you've cleaned out all the SA residue, then try to re-install SA.

I'd assume you installed an older version of SA while you were using perl 5.8.5.
Later you upgraded to 5.8.6 and then installed 3.1.0 sometime afterward.

The 3.1.0 installation did not see the outdated site_perl directory, thus never
removed it.

I'd suggest blowing away the old copy entirely with rm -rf:

rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin/

then try your SA. If that doesn't fix things, rm -rf both of them and re-install
SA 3.1.0.


While you're at it double-check for duplicate spamd and spamc scripts. That's
less likely but it is possible that one is in /usr/bin and another is in
/usr/local/bin..
