Hi guys, This is my first email to this mailing list. I've been trying to update spamassassin from spamassassin-3.1.8-1.i386 to spamassassin-3.2.4-1.i386 for my mail server since 3 days ago. The operating system is RHEL 4. When I run the rpm command:
rpm -Uvh --force perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.4-1.i386.rpm spamassassin-3.2.4-1.i386.rpm I got a message: error: Failed dependencies: perl(HTML::Parser) >= 3.43 is needed by perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.4-1.i386 perl(Archive::Tar) >= 1.23 is needed by spamassassin-3.2.4-1.i386 perl(IO::Zlib) >= 1.04 is needed by spamassassin-3.2.4-1.i386 I checked the version of the dependencies with the "perl -MCPAN -e shell" command yet they all fit the requirement: cpan> i HTML::Parser Strange distribution name [HTML::Parser] Module id = HTML::Parser DESCRIPTION Basic HTML Parser CPAN_USERID LWWWP (The libwww-perl mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) CPAN_VERSION undef CPAN_FILE Contact Author The libwww-perl mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DSLI_STATUS RmcO (released,mailing-list,C,object-oriented) MANPAGE HTML::Parser - HTML parser class INST_FILE /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/HTML/Par ser.pm INST_VERSION 3.56 cpan> i Archive::Tar Strange distribution name [Archive::Tar] Module id = Archive::Tar DESCRIPTION Read, write and manipulate tar files CPAN_USERID KANE (Jos Boumans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) CPAN_VERSION undef CPAN_FILE Contact Author Jos Boumans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DSLI_STATUS RdpO (released,developer,perl,object-oriented) MANPAGE Archive::Tar - module for manipulations of tar archives INST_FILE /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Archive/Tar.pm INST_VERSION 1.34 cpan> i IO::Zlib Strange distribution name [IO::Zlib] Module id = IO::Zlib DESCRIPTION IO:: style interface to Compress::Zlib CPAN_USERID TOMHUGHES (Tom Hughes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) CPAN_VERSION undef CPAN_FILE Contact Author Tom Hughes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> DSLI_STATUS bdpO (beta,developer,perl,object-oriented) MANPAGE IO::Zlib - IO:: style interface to L<Compress::Zlib> INST_FILE /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/IO/Zlib.pm INST_VERSION 1.07 I'd rpmbuild-ed the source file ( Mail-SpamAssassin-3.2.4.tar.gz) and upgraded those dependencies about 3 days ago and since that time I have never restarted the mail server. What was I missing here? Thank you for your help. Regards,
