After updating Perl, amavis refused to start. I solved it like this: gzip the man directories installpkg --reinstall perl-5.8.4-i486-3 delete /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/MIME perl -MCPAN -e shell install Test Install Test::Harness install IO::File install MIME::Body
Obviously, this is for an old (10.0) version of Slackware, but it might help somebody. One of the following broke amavis: Net::SMTP Digest::MD5 Time::HiRes IF ANYONE KNOWS WHICH OF THE ABOVE IS THE bAD bOY, PLEASE SAY SO! Note that amavis would start in debug mode, both with and without the "user" switch (-u USER) and not report any error. At that point, 'telnet localhost 10024' connected (I did not wait to see if amavis would display any text). But when attempting to start normally, it hung - even when run under debug (with 'perl -wd amavisd', editing out the "-T" on the first line). Note also that amavis versions 2.4.0 and 2.6.0 behaved exactly the same way. Advice for installers: Rather than "install WHATEVER", first "i WHATEVER" and, if you already have the required Perl module installed, keep your installed version. Only install that which your Perl is lacking.
