I tried to upgrade from SA 3.2.5 to 3.3.0 by installing the newer one
from FreeBSD Ports. It seems that at least the Ports version thinks
that the latest SA requires perl 5.10.x, rather than 5.8.9, which I
was already using. Installing from ports automatically installs perl
5.10.1 which causes spamc children to run wild and basically, spamd
can't cope with it.
I am the port maintainer for SA for Freebsd, and there is no such
requirement.
I have upgraded hundreds of systems, some with 5.8.8, some with 5.8.9,
some with 5.10.
I have upgraded with portupgrade. I have created packages with
portupgrade -p and upgraded with portupgrade -PP.
If you can reproduce the problem, go to www.freebsd.com/support and open
a PR.
Be specific, show EXACTLY how you reproduced the problem, what os, what
version, etc.
(or, if you used portupgrade -R, you told freebsd to upgrade perl since
it is a dependency. It just did what you told it to do)
