Sir, You or someone else, has managed to break apt-get's info about S.A. Im not going into fixing that, that is a Debian question. You need to download the package manually with 'wget'. You can "apt-get install wget" if you don't have it. Use wget to get the package. Example "wget http://somefileyouwant.deb"; After that use dpkg -i to install the package just as if you'd used apt-get. "dpkg -i somefileyouwant.deb" That will install your Spamassassin package. Just remember you're opening a can of worms by using anything later than S.A. version 3.1.7 on Debian Sarge. The newer versions are reported to run fine on Debian Etch. I botched an upgrade from 3.1.4 -> 3.2.3 on Sarge a while ago, and it caused a MASSIVE headache with incorrect dependencies, wrong perl modules being installed, and config being installed in new/different locations, which ended up with an INSANE installation - more than one version existing in binaries or config on one singular computer. Not a good look. It took a long time to fix. (well, it seemed like a very long time) You'd be better off arranging some downtime. Copying out your current S.A config, and completely removing S.A altogether, including manually hunting down every config file and binary. Then and only then would I consider installing the 3.2.4 package, and restoring the config. HTH, Mike
