Fixing Debian/Spamassassin

November 23rd, 2005 by Hen

Hopefully I’ve managed to figure things out.

When attempting to install an SVN server ages ago on Woody, I installed Berkeley DB from scratch. Thus is appeared in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH/ld.so.conf. This was causing large problems for perl when it tried to talk to Berkeley DB. Removing it (along with various files in my /var/lib) appears to have gotten me past the problem.

Unfortunately, due to problems a year ago, my Postfix is a source install and appears to have conjoined itself to the source install of Berkeley. So if I fix SpamAssassin, I break the email server. Joy. Tomorrow night will be spent fixing this, hopefully.

    You could dump Berkeley in SpamAssass all together and use SQL or SDBM (SA 3.1 only) instead.

    Could do Michael.

    Major reason not to is that I have to fix this anyway. I shouldn’t be on a source install of postfix and other perl programs could be hitting problems due to this.
