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

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.
