SA/Razor2 - can't locate object method "new"

[Phil <ZM...@protected.unixadm.org>]

Hi everyone,

when running spamassassin -D, I get the following error:

razor2 check skipped: Illegal seek Can't locate object method "new" via 
package "Razor2::Client::Agent" 
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/Mail/SpamAssassin/Dns.pm line 370.

Upgrading spamassassin 2.63 to today's 3.0.0-cvs didn't help, same when 
upgrading razor2 from version 2.36 to 2.40.

But(!) then I installed spamassassin in another directory (using perl 
Makefile.PL PREFIX=foo SYSCONFDIR=bar ; make ; make install) and when running 
that copy of spamassassin, razor2 works.
Why that? The contents of /usr/lib/perl/site_perl/5.8.3/SpamAssassin* and 
foo/lib/perl/site_perl/5.8.3/SpamAssassin* are absolutely identical. 
foo/bin/spamassassin and /usr/bin/spamassassin differ, but only in their path 
definitions.

#> rpm -q perl spamassassin Razor
perl-5.8.3-2tr
spamassassin-3.0.0-0.1
Razor-2.40-1

Anyone got a clue what may have gone wrong?

Kind regards,

Phil

Thanks, that link helped :)
I needed to recompile Data::Dumper because of an undefined symbol. But I have 
no idea why Razor2 worked when using another copy..

Kind regards,

Razor 2.40 has that patch already applied, so there should be no need 
for it. An upgrading as phil did, should have been sufficient. (though 
he might still have the old razor laying around somewhere.

Phil's error:
razor2 check skipped: Illegal seek Can't locate object method "new" via
package "Razor2::Client::Agent"
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/Mail/SpamAssassin/Dns.pm line 370.

Seems similar to the one I was struggling with yesterday:
spamd[15838]: razor2 check skipped: Operation not permitted Can't locate 
object method "new" via package "Razor2::Client::Agent" at 
///Library/Perl/5.8.1/Mail/SpamAssassin/Dns.pm line 392

My solution was to stop using Razor2 :/
I have better things to do with my life than debug perl installations, I 
spent half a day and got nowhere.

There is some info on this type of error in the SA wiki:
<http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RazorCantLocateNew>

Might help you out.

Adrian

did you applied the Razor2.patch from the sa package? just an idea, no
clue else.
