sa-update has not updated anything since SpamAssassin was installed several weeks ago
Hi guys,
I wonder why sa-update never updates any rules one of my SpamAssassin
installations on Gentoo Linux. Running "sa-update -D" returns these
messages:
dbg: channel: attempting channel updates.spamassassin.org
dbg: channel: update directory
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org
dbg: channel: channel cf file
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org.cf
dbg: channel: channel pre file
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.003002/updates_spamassassin_org.pre
dbg: channel: metadata version = 1418219
dbg: dns: 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org => 3.3, parsed as 3
dbg: channel: current version is 1418219, new version is 3, skipping
channel
dbg: diag: updates complete, exiting with code 1
Does this mean that SA believes that my local ruleset version is
1418219
(which matches what I see in updates_spamassassin_org.cf), while the
ruleset available for download is version 3? Am I perhaps experiencing
DNS issues? BTW, I'm using dev-perl/Net-DNS-0.700.0, so the thread
"sa-update don't update" of 2012-12-13 probably does not apply?
Thanks for your help,
-Ralph

I reverted to Net::DNS 0.68, et voilà, it works. Thanks!

It does apply. Go for Net::DNS 0.71, or stick with 0.68.
Net::DNS 0.69 and 0.70 are incompatible with sa-update from
SpamAssassin 3.3.2 or earlier.

Possible you can try an older Net::DNS and see if it resolves the issue?

Looks ok to me, and 1423347 is greater than 1418219, so SpamAssassin
should realize that there are rules to be updated.

If you run
dig -t txt 2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org
do you see:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
2.3.3.updates.spamassassin.org. 3600 IN TXT "1423347"

Sounds like that might not be the case...
