I don't think this got through to the list (I haven't seen it).. Just in case, here goes once more...
I had a similar experience installing. Apparently I didn't let the original command finish converting the database to version 3. What I ended up doing is going into my bayes directory and deleting the .lock files including the ones with process ids (or move them if you do not want to take chances). Once all of the lock files are gone, run sa-learn --sync -D The sa-learn command will notice that the db is version 2 and starts to update it to version 3 (took a while for my machine).. Once it's updated, then it's only a matter of going through your .cf files.. Check for the "warning:" messages in the spamassassin --lint -D output.. That took me a while, too.. For some reason any rules with descriptions > 50 generates a warning. They show up as errors at the end of the --lint -D.. So, I went through each cf file and made sure my descriptions were < 50 characters long.. -----Original Message----- From: Erik Wickstrom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 8:49 PM To: users@spamassassin.apache.org Subject: Strange Errors from SA 3.0 Hi all, I keep getting strange errors like this from spamassassin: sa-learn --dump magic bayes db version 2 is not able to be used, aborting! at /usr/lob/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore/DBM.pm line 160.
