Package: spamassassin Version: 3.3.2-5+deb7u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
The init script is unable to start spamassassin when other perl processes are running on the same box. # /etc/init.d/spamassassin start Starting SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: /usr/bin/perl already running. spamd. # # ps avx|grep perl 7288 pts/4 S+ 0:00 0 166 10285 912 0.0 grep --color=tty perl 23842 ? S 0:03 0 4 31899 10348 0.0 /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/bin/adzapper Killing squid (and thus adzapper) makes the initscript work: # /etc/init.d/spamassassin start Starting SpamAssassin Mail Filter Daemon: spamd. Something fishy is going on with spamd, though - neither pidof nor pidof -x see spamd: # pidof spamd [Exit 1] # pidof -x spamd [Exit 1] # pidof /usr/sbin/spamd [Exit 1] # pidof -x /usr/sbin/spamd [Exit 1] # ps avx |grep spam 10993 ?
