Further information. The perl upgrade appears to have also broken htmlpp, a
processor for creating web pages with cross links, etc. It appears to be failing
on the following code snippet:
}
elsif (/^(\-ifexist\s+)?([^\s!]+)(!)?/) { # .include filename[!]
The failure being that .include statements which were previously acceptable now
fail.
Similar thing is happening on Fedora Core 2 with amavisd-0.1: May 30 20:33:30 XXXX amavisd[21198]: Decoding of msg-21195-2.arc (ARC archive data, packed) failed, leaving it unpacked: Insecure dependency in exec while running with -T switch at /usr/sbin/amavisd line 827, <GENO> line 57. (message-id=<2004053002035.i4UKZiBu021192@XXXX>) Also, amavis (I don't know about amavisd) has some problems on Fedora Core 1, leaving it unusable on that platform. Also, amavisd has some problems on Fedora Core 2, leaving it unusable on that platform fedora core 2 with amavis-0.3.13pre2 has this problem too. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030716 Description of problem: The critical update Errata #: RHSA-2003:256-10 seems to break Perl. The update takes the existing version in RedHat 8.0 from 5.8.0-55 to 5.8.0-88.3. Immediately after applying this update I noticed my mail anti-virus scanner (AMAVIS) was no longer running. After identifying that the mail scanner stopped at the same time as the Perl updates I proceeded to remove Perl 5.8.0-88.3 and the corresponding Perl-CGI and Perl-CPAN packages. I then reinstall Perl 5.8.0-55 and the corresponding Perl-CGI and Perl-CPAN packages. AMAVIS started working properly after the Perl revert. To verify that my server wasn't corrupting data I built another RedHat 8.0 box with a clean install. I installed the Perl packages necessary for AMAVIS and tested the scanner to make sure it was working. I then installed all of the corresponding RH8 Errata. AMAVIS failed after the updates. I tried rebuilding the Perl packages and received errors regarding pod2man not being in the path. I tried resetting the LANG variable from en_US.UTF-8 to en_US which resolved the pod2man error but still did not resolve the issues with AMAVIS. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.0-88.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Load Amavis-0.3.12 and all necessary components. 2.Apply update: RHSA-2003:256-10 3.Send a test message then view your maillog. Actual Results: No worky... Expected Results: Hopefully my mail gets scanned for viruses and then delivered to my mailbox. Additional info: AMAVIS creates the following log entries in /etc/log/maillog when receiving mail: Oct 19 23:30:16 localhost amavisd[2094]: starting. amavis 0.3.12 Sun Oct 19 20:36:45 PDT 2003 Oct 19 23:30:16 localhost amavisd[2097]: mail forwarding failed, retry: Insecure dependency in exec while running with -T switch at /usr/sbin/amavis line 578, <GEN0> line 17.
