Summary:                    perl is missing DB_File.pm
Description: 
current perl package is missing DB_File.pm which breaks e.g. spamassassin
Bayes-filtering. See error output in 'Additional Information'. Earlier
versions of the perl 5.10.1 still included DB_File: Compare

to current file list.

That's weird, I'm using the latest Perl with SpamAssassin myself with no
issues (I get Bayes scoring).

We don't do anything special so if DB_File.pm shouldn't be included in
core Perl I think we're better off making a separate package for it.

Thoughts?
