Note that you *do not need* gdbm (I assume that's what you meant to
type) to use SpamAssassin. The only reason you needed to install is
because 1) Debian's Perl build (and others, from what it sounds like)
decide that all Perl extensions should be built with "-lgdbm", and 2)
SpamAssassin uses Perl's idea of how to build Perl extensions to build
spamc, which is a standalone C program that has nothing to do with Perl.
That does it -- I'm filing a bug report on this one. Sick of typing the
same thing again and again and again and again ...
