Package: spamassassin Version: 3.3.1-1 Severity: wishlist /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin sleeps for up to 3600 seconds, probably to distribute the load on SpamAssassin servers when using sa-update:
# Sleep for up to 3600 seconds RANGE=3600 number=`od -vAn -N2 -tu4 < /dev/urandom` number=`expr $number "%" $RANGE` sleep $number # Update umask 022 sa-update This has the disadvantage that cron is blocked while the script is sleeping; it's also annoying when running the script manually. If this block would be put in a detached subshell: ( # Sleep for up to 3600 seconds RANGE=3600 number=`od -vAn -N2 -tu4 < /dev/urandom` number=`expr $number "%" $RANGE` sleep $number # Update umask 022 sa-update ) & these problems should be resolved. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages spamassassin depends on: pn libarchive-tar-perl <none> (no description available) ii libdigest-sha1-perl 2.13-1 NIST SHA-1 message digest algorith ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.66-1 collection of modules that parse H ii libnet-dns-perl 0.66-2 Perform DNS queries from a Perl sc ii libnetaddr-ip-perl 4.028+dfsg-1 IP address manipulation module ii libsocket6-perl 0.23-1 Perl extensions for IPv6 ii libsys-hostname-long-p 1.4-2 Figure out the long (fully-qualifi ii libwww-perl 5.836-1 Perl HTTP/WWW client/server librar ii perl 5.10.1-17squeeze3 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii perl-modules [libio-zl 5.10.1-17squeeze3 Core Perl modules Versions of packages spamassassin recommends: ii gcc 4:4.4.5-1 The GNU C compiler ii gnupg 1.4.10-4 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libc6-dev 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Developmen ii libio-socket-inet6-per 2.65-1.1 Object interface for AF_INET6 doma ii libmail-spf-perl 2.007-1 Perl implementation of Sender Poli ii make 3.81-8 An utility for Directing compilati ii perl [libsys-syslog-pe 5.10.1-17squeeze3 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction pn re2c <none> (no description available) ii spamc 3.3.1-1 Client for SpamAssassin spam filte Versions of packages spamassassin suggests: ii libcompress-zlib-perl 2.024-1 Transitional dummy package for Com ii libdbi-perl 1.612-1 Perl Database Interface (DBI) ii libio-socket-ssl-perl 1.33-1+squeeze1 Perl module implementing object or ii libmail-dkim-perl 0.38-1 cryptographically identify the sen pn libnet-ident-perl <none> (no description available) ii perl [libcompress-zlib 5.10.1-17squeeze3 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii pyzor 1:0.5.0-2 spam-catcher using a collaborative ii razor 1:2.85-3 spam-catcher using a collaborative -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/spamassassin changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
