Package: spamassassin
Version: 3.2.4-1
Severity: wishlist
When I logged in this morning, I discovered a bunch of messages like
this in my logs:
May 20 06:00:20 jeeves spamd[29091]: plugin: eval failed: Can't locate
unicore/Canonical.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/share/perl5 /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at
/usr/share/perl/5.8/utf8_heavy.pl line 122, <GEN204> line 146.
A much larger amount of spam than usual got through my filters, I
think because most of my spam checks couldn't run due to this error.
After some confusion, I figured out that I had upgraded perl under a
running spamd, from 5.8 to 5.10. Apparently spamd needs to dynamically
load perl modules, and removing the 5.8 versions breaks it. It would be
great if spamd could be restarted when perl is upgraded. I suspect this
is not exactly trivial, which is why I'm filing at wishlist severity.

This was fixed no later than 3.4.0-3, but probably earlier.
