I've built the latest version as suggested on the main site which all
went very well, however when I come to do the upgrade I get this error:-
file /usr/share/spamassassin/20_porn.cf from install of
perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.4-1 conflicts with file from package
spamassassin-3.0.1-0_19.rh9.at
Questions are should I do a force install or a removal and re-install of
the packages. Removal would probably be fraught with problems knowing my
luck!
If you just built both a "spamassassin" and "perl-Mail-SpamAssassin"
RPM, try upgrading them both at the same time (i.e. pass them both to
rpm -Uvh on the same command line).
If all you have is perl-Mail-SpamAssassin, you should remove and
reinstall. Chances are it's just a naming difference -- your old RPM is
called spamasssassin, and the new one is called perl-Mail-SpamAssassin,
so RPM doesn't realize it should remove the old one when it installs the
new one. Forcing the install would leave you with a broken setup that
was partly 3.0.1 and partly 3.0.4.
Actually, it's a good rule of thumb to *never* use --force unless you
know *exactly* what you're doing and what the consequences are in that
particular case.
