Thanks!  Do I need to remove the 5.8.5 and 5.8.6 perl libraries too?

I think what happened is that I did a yum update and it broke things.  I
tried to rename the 5.8.5 PerMsgStatus and spamd didn't load.  I thinik
I have some mix ups here.  Should I uninstall SA and start from
scratch? 
    

Probably...

  
COuld you give me a few pointers on how to get rid of it
gracefully?

    

I'd first try to use "yum remove". At least this will gracefully remove as much
as yum understands.

After that I'd check and see if rpm -qa thinks there's still some kind of SA
package installed and I'd rpm -e any that are left over.

>From there, do an updatedb and locate to see what's left over that couldn't be
removed by your package manager and wipe the leftovers out with rm. While this
might sound un-graceful, it's pretty much all you've got.

Suggested locate searches:
locate spamassassin
locate spamc
locate spamd
locate sa-learn
locate SpamAssassin

Make sure you hit pretty much everything in /usr. (ie: /usr/share/spamassassin/,
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/*/SpamAssassin, /usr/bin/, /usr/local/bin, etc.)


After you've cleaned out all the SA residue, then try to re-install SA.
