Hi! since you guys told be that version 3.1.8 wasn't receiving updates
because it's to old, I trying to upgrade spamassassin. Since I can't
upgrade the server (I'm using Fedora 3), I've downloaded the latest
tarball and did rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.5.tar.gz.
When trying to install the rpm, I got a an error that some perl modules
were outdates. So, i run cpan> install Bundle::CPAN, which upgrade my
perl environment. Now, when trying to build the rpm from the tarball
again,
after a while I get
Don't mix package managers!!! CPAN and RPM don't know what each other
install, so installing dependencies from one won't satisfy the other. (A
package manager is just a database that tracks what's installed, what
package owns which file.)
If you want to run an RPM-based distro, you need to get all your packages
as RPMs, so that your RPM database knows what you have.
If you use the SA package from RPMForge, set up yum to use RPMForge as a
yum repository and you can use it to find all the dependencies as RPMs and
install them at the same time automagically. Install the rpmforge-release
package for FC3 to get the necessary yum config.
