Summary: sa-update failed to execute without some dependency RPMs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193100 tmz@xxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version|fc5 |devel Status|CLOSED |NEW Keywords| |Reopened Resolution|RAWHIDE | ------- Additional Comments From tmz@xxxxxxxxx 2006-12-27 00:53 EST ------- There seem to still be missing Requires for the FC6 and devel packages regarding sa-update. Both LWP::UserAgent and HTTP::Date are needed (both are provided in perl-libwww-perl). Looking at the devel package I see that an sa-update cronjob is added (though disabled by default). if folks enable that and don't have the proper perl modules they'll just get a spew of perl prose in their mailbox. They may even think that Spamassassin is junky instead of the incredible tool that it is. Output on FC6 without perl-libwww-perl: $ sudo sa-update Can't locate LWP/UserAgent.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8) at /usr/bin/sa-update line 92. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/sa-update line 92. Not being terribly familiar with upstream SA history and noticing that Justin Mason is on the CC list for this bug, I'm curious why sa-update uses evals in the use ... statements to "avoid the annoying RPM requirement check." If it's just to allow the upstream packaged rpm to not require the deps for sa-update perhaps it would be better to split sa-update into a separate package in the upstream rpm? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
