At the suggestion of a local user I ran 'sa-update -D' to bring my Slackware-12.2 system running SA-3.2.5 up to date. Instead, I just dug myself a hole and fell in by running the above. Sigh.
What I see as a result is: [6753] error: check: no loaded plugin implements 'check_main': cannot scan! at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 164. check: no loaded plugin implements 'check_main': cannot scan! at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/PerMsgStatus.pm line 164. My Google search found one thread on this subject from 2007, but he was running amavisd, too, and it could not find the *.pre files. No help for me there. In /etc/mail/spamassassin/rules/ I have init.pre, v310.pre, and v312.pre files. SA has been running so I am totally clueless why this attempted update finds an error that prevents /usr/bin/spamd from starting again. Perhaps someone here can tell me how to resolve this problem so I can once again invoke spamd. Rich
