Hello,
how can I update (upgrade) under Debian (3.0 Woody) of SA 2.55 on SA 2.60?

Thank you for help
Jim,
I can think of several options, each with advantages/disadvantages:
1) Upgrade your entire system to unstable (probably not what you want to do if it's a production server).
2) Add a source line to apt.conf for the unstable distribution, apt-get source unstable/spamassassin and build from that (May need something like apt-get build-dep too).
3) Add the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf: APT::Default-Release "stable";
and the following to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://debian.2z.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free
Then do: apt-get update apt-get install unstable/spamassassin
and fight the dependancies.
4) Uninstall the Debian version, install SA from CPAN.
5) Uninstall Debian version, install SA from a tar file from spamassassin.org or sorceforge.
Personally, I use option 3 on my production server. On a test server, I build from CPAN. Option 2 might actually be your best bet, especially when dealing with the dependancies, but I haven't played with deb sources much, so I don't know for sure.
Good luck!
