No, you didn't miss a version update. That was the 1st thing I checked
when I saw the 3.002 references.

I think Theo may have got his dev tree's mixed up, or maybe a little
too much Xmas spirit ;-D

help needed with sa-update

[Miles Fidelman <mf...@meetinghouse.net>]

Hi Folks,

Hopefully somebody can provide some guidance.

sa-update has just started giving me errors:

I run:
sa-update

and get a string of errors along the lines of:
config: configuration file 
"/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003/updates_spamassassin_org.tmp/20_advance_fee.cf" 
requires version 3.002000 of SpamAssassin, but this is code version 
3.001003. Maybe you need to use the -C switch, or remove the old config 
files? Skipping this file at 
/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf/Parser.pm line 344.

and then spamassassin --lint fails

I'm running on Debian Sarge, with security, volatile, and backports in 
my apt sources list, and I thought everything was all caught up.  But 
now, I'm confused as to what's actually installed.
spamassassin -V tells me that I'm running version 3.1.3
the error messsage I'm getting suggests otherwise

So... any suggestions on how to figure out and fix what's going on?

Thanks very much,

Miles Fidelman

The man page and wiki explain it, but if the channel lint check fails, the
currently installed config files aren't updated.  So you can restart spamd if
you want to, but the configs weren't changed.

Concur.  I noted the errors when I ran sa-update -D a little while ago.  
But, best I can tell, nothing changed.  Even the temporary files 
in /tmp were deleted.  I also checked /etc/mail/spamassassin and only 
the date got changed on the sa-update-keys directory, but nothing new 
in the directory.  spamassassin --lint passes.  So, why am I afraid to 
restart spamd?

What I know that is different is, if you go to

/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001007/

Or wherever your updates go on your machine and check the directory listings
with ls -axl mine show up as the last time I updated and have not been
updated as of today.

These results tell me we are all ok and should breathe a sigh of relief.

Nothing to see here.  :-)

No, your SA won't be broken. IIRC SA won't apply anything if there's a
failure. At least my SA is still running fine here after my attempted
update this morning. I didn't restart after the failure so in theory
at least SA should still be running off the old set even if the new
set did cause a problem. That said, I'm pretty sure that unless SA
gets an OK return from sa-update nothing is applied.

If anyone knows different please yell.

Kind regards

Regardless of the reason, is my SA now broken, and in any case, how do
I recover from this?
