Can't locate object method "new" via package "Net::DNS::RR::TXT"

["Brian J. Murrell" <br...@interlinx.bc.ca>]

I seem to be getting a lot of these in the last 36h:


12:02:26 spamd Can't locate object method "new" via package "Net::DNS::RR::TXT" at /usr/lib/perl5/Net/DNS/RR.pm line 305.
12:02:26 spamd caught at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/DnsResolver.pm line 419

Any ideas why?

Hello,

I once had this problem. It was caused by an improper/incomplete upgrade of Spamassassin. Perl modules actually, some had been downloaded and added to the system via CPAN, which were supposed to go with a new Spamassassin binary. The binary was never installed however, and we had lots of problems like the "can't locate object method" error. 

Investigating the Perl modules afterwards, it was clear that some were a new version, while others were the old version - God only knows how that happened (probably misuse of CPAN). Restoring the old perl modules from backup fixed the issue. 

HTH
Cheers,
Michael Hutchinson

probably a bug in one of: Net::DNS or Mail::SPF or Mail::SPF::Query.
