OS Upgrade Broke SpamAssassin; Help Needed to Fix
I (finally) upgraded my main server/workstation from Slackware-11.0 to
-12.0. After rebooting into the newer kernel, the mail system wasn't
working. Postfix was OK, and I traced the problem to SpamAssassin. Version
3.1.7 was installed.
Some perl modules needed to be upgraded, so I did those via CPAN. This did
not fix the problem (memory use about 98%, disk trashing, postfix cleaning
running constantly, MTA connection to localhost (127.0.0.1) being refused,
etc.) so I thought an upgrade of SA was in order.
I tried to upgrade to 3.2.5 via CPAN ('perl -MCPAN -e shell; install
Mail::SpamAssassin'). The above mentioned problems still exist as soon as I
turn on the spam filter in /etc/postfix/master.cf. Turned it off again.
Here are the current versions reported by SA:
[rshepard@salmo ~]$ /usr/local/bin/spamassassin -V
spamassassin: spamassassin script is v3.001007, but using modules v3.002005
SpamAssassin-3.1.7 is installed in /etc/mail/spamassassin/.
How should I proceed to fix the installation so there's only one copy
(either in /etc/mail/spamassassin or /usr/local/bin) and that's the latest
version? I would like to get this fixed ASAP so I can turn it back on and
still have the MTA working.
TIA,
Rich

Benny,
Slackware doesn't use rpms. The slack packages end in .tgz and that's what
the package tools work with.

Find all SA-related files and delete them. Then go back and install a fresh
version. Make sure to save your own site configs and such, and reinstall them
when you're done.
