I just thought I'd let you know how I fixed a bayes error that I was getting when running sa-learn --dump
Use of uninitialized value in numeric lt (<) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore.pm line 1281. 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: bayes db version 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: nspam 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: nham 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: ntokens 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: oldest atime 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: current scan-0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last expiry atime First of all I decided to use RPM's instead of CPAN and had to re-install. In order to uninstall CPAN perl modules I (at the suggestion of Landy - thanks!) installed webmin (http://www.webmin.com) which seemed to be only way to uninstall a perl module. After a few minutes of clicking all perl modules were gone. I then built rpm's from the source using: rpmbuild --rebuild /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS/spamassassin-2.60-1.src.rpm Which placed the three modules into: /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 (It's a Redhat 8.0 system). Check out Charles helpful email at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg23144.html Then ran: rpm -Uvh perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60-1.i386.rpm spamassassin-2.60-1.i386.rpm spamassassin-tools-2.60-1.i386.rpm to install them avoiding all conflicts. When running: spamassassin -D --lint (I took a wild guess here and assumed -D would be debug). I was seeing a strange Bayes error in the middle: debug: bayes: DB_File module not installed, cannot use Bayes So a quick search of rpmfind.net showed that I needed "perl-DB_file" which was a module I'd deleted under CPAN. Downloaded that from here: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=perl-DB_file installed it and then ran sa-learn --dump again to find it was clean this time. then ran sa-learn --spam --mbox SPAM which worked.. and now I have a DB again. sa-learn --dump 0.000 0 2 0 non-token data: bayes db version 0.000 0 15 0 non-token data: nspam 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: nham 0.000 0 1581 0 non-token data: ntokens 0.000 0 1066032191 0 non-token data: oldest atime 0.000 0 1066575968 0 non-token data: newest atime 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last journal sync atime 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last expiry atime 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last expire atime delta 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last expire reduction co unt So.. looks like that error is *possibly* caused by not having the perl-DB module installed and I got into the bind by uninstalling the CPAN modules and going via RPMs, but my install and all dependancies weren't complete. I only found this out by guessing at the -D option for spamassissin --lint. Would be nice to see this documented on the product home page. ;-) Thought I'd share the good news in case anyone else was also in a bind and also for documentation purposes.
