I've verified the problem. I ran sudo make test in a directory tree in
/tmp with world r-x access, and got the error in t/spamd_client.t as
well as in t/spamc_optL.t. I don't know why you didn't see the second of
those, but that doesn't matter for fixing it.
It looks like the fix to bug 5529 was only a partial solution, made even
worse by the way that it put nothing in place to ensure that newly
created tests would not have the same problem as the ones it "fixed".
I'll open a new bug for this and finish the job bug 5529 started.
However, it remains a good idea to not run the tests as root.
Even if you need root to install SpamAssassin you can do it either by using
perl Makefile.PL < /dev/null
make
make test
sudo make install
or if you have been using sudo cpan to do the installation, instead use
cpanm with the -S option. That option allows you to run cpanm as
non-root and it does the sudo make install for you.
If you do that it will work before I fix the bug.
