sa-learn says 'cannot use DNS'

Hi!

Why does sa-learn say 'cannot use DNS' even when spamassassin says DNS 
is surely available?

if i invoke
    'spamassassin -p ./spam.assassin.prefs.conf -D --lint'
it says DNS is available:
    debug: is Net::DNS::Resolver available? yes
    debug: Net::DNS version: 0.48
    debug: trying (3) ebay.com...
    debug: looking up NS for 'ebay.com'
    debug: NS lookup of ebay.com succeeded => Dns available (set 
dns_available to hardcode)
    debug: is DNS available? 1

but when i invoke
    'sa-learn -D -p ./spam.assassin.prefs.conf --spam --mbx Junk'
it says 'cannot use DNS':
    debug: received-header: cannot use DNS, do not trust any hosts from 
here on

I have no idea where the problem is...

Thank you for your help.

Because sa-learn specifically turns off network tests:
    local_tests_only    => 1,

It doesn't need them, so it doesn't bother to run through all that
code.
