Upgrade SA from 2.63 to 3.02 file conflicts message

[Greg Allen <ga...@netrox.net>]

I downloaded SpamAssassin in tar.gz format from spamassassin.org

I have a working SA version 2.63 that has been running for months. I wish to
do the upgrade to 3.0.2.

I ran rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.2.tar.gz

Went to the correct i338 RPM directory

Ran rpm -i (perl file name ) (spamassassin file name)

(I did not install the tools rpm file because I have not needed to do so in
the past.)

When I try the rpm above install I get a long list of

(file name) from install of spamassassin 3.0.2 "conflicts with a file from
package" spamassassin 2.63.

Any ideas what I should do at this point? Am I missing something basic?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Perhaps you meant "rpm -U" ?
