This patch gets pulled in when building on Red Hat 8, and doesn't apply to Makefile.PL. This might be a side effect of splitting spamc into its own subdirectory. I'm guessing an updated patch should be modifying line 1033.
Created attachment 101131 [details] Replacement patch I don't see any changes to the spamc directory when this is applied, so I don't know that it's the correct solution, but it allows the package to build.
Thank you. I will add this to the rawhide SRPM when I upgrade to the official pre-release coming within the next few days.
applied to the next rawhide package. Please CLOSE this report as RAWHIDE after you verify that it works. 3.0-2.pre1 or later.
The package builds on both FC2 (no krb5) and RH8 (with krb5). Attempting to build and install the package on RH8 with a prior RPM set from the SA site installed results in a dependency failure on spamassassin-tools (provided by the SA site's SRPM). I erased the -tools RPM and now get this failed dependency: error: Failed dependencies: perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.8.0) is needed by spamassassin-3.0-2.pre1 If the Fedora RPM won't be providing a -tools subpackage, it should obsolete the old upstream one.
Just erase that line. It is not possible to make that compatible with older versions of perl. I am considering adding a Provides -tools, but first I will analyze the upstream .spec to see if we can become closer in compatibility. Low priority to me.

spamassassin-3.0-krb5-backcompat.patch in spamassassin-3.0-7.rc2.src.rpm doesn't apply under RH8 either. On the other hand, when I use this one instead (with that MODULE_COMPAT line removed from the spec file), it works for me in RH8. BTW, a trivial SArc4 variant SRPM builds and runs on RH8, FC1, FC2.
http://www.fedora.us/pkglists/8.0/stable/perl-forward-compat-5.8.0-0.fdr.2.src.rpm.html MODULE_COMPAT requires perl-forward-compat on RH8 and RH9. You can install it from fedora.us Extras stable.
Thanks for the patch John. It will be in rawhide after we unfreeze.
