The SA src rpm rebuild for Redhat 8.0 did not work correctly for some reason.
Note: I currently have Spamassassin 2.53 running on the system.
I did the following.
*downloaded 2.55 source rpm from link on SA website to VanDinter
*copied to a new directory on the hard disk (any directory ok I guess?)
*at term prompt in the directory where src rpm located typed "rpmbuild --rebuild spamassassin-2.55-1.7.3.src.rpm
*rebuild appeared to work...lots of files flash by
*rebuild completes
*go to rebuild directory /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
*perl, spammassassin and tools RPMS are there, all say 2.55-1.i386.rmp
*trying to install any of them shows they will not install because dependent files are not there
*for instance, try to install perl-spamassassin-2.55 says...
Packages Not Found, the following packages could not be found on your system. Installation cannot continue until they are installed.
Unlocated Package Required By
perl-Mail-Spamassassin = 2.53-1 spamassassin
perl-Mail-Spamassassin = 2.53-1 spamassassin-tools
*notice the above error refers to version 2.53? weirdness...
*if I try to install spamassasin-2.55-1.i386.rpm I get following error
Unlocated Package Required By
perl-Mail-Spamassassin = 2.55-1 spamassassin
*if I try to install spamassasin-tools-2.55-1.i386.rpm I get following error
Unlocated Package Required By
perl-Mail-Spamassassin = 2.55-1 spamassassin
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you!

Yeah, I didn't quite get around to it. Sorry.

absolutely.

As I recall, 7.1 has problems due to some stupidity in 7.1, but 6.2,
7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 all built without issue (at least if the boxes have
been updated appropriately).
I haven't gotten around to installing 7.1 on a test box yet, so ...
