For reasons discussed elsewhere, I've got to get serious about spam. But my first 3 attempts to emerge spamassassin have failed. (on x86).
For one thing, there's a detection process near the beginning that is failing to detect Perl modules that are actually present, and from portage not CPAN. First it was Digest-SHA1. Re-emerging it fixed that, so maybe there was bitrot somewhere. But now it's doing the same thing with Mail::DKIM, but that's fortunately not a show-stopper like SHA1, but it's still worrisome. Now the show-stopper is some access violations that make no sense to me. It says it could not 'mkdir /usr/share/spamassassin', but I could do it from the command line (as root). Having done it, it still complained but proceeded to report an access violation on an attempt to 'chmod 0644 something'. I could also do that one from the command-line. Grrrr. Has anyone seen this, and know of a workaround? -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD
