[csw-users] some information about amavisd

[Ihsan Dogan]

Hello,

This affects you only, if you are using the unstable distribution. If
you are using stable, you can ignore this e-mail.

If you have upgraded lately to the newest Perl from unstable, you have
got probably something like that, when you tried to start amavisd-new:

# ./amavisd-new start
Problem in Amavis::DB or Amavis::DB::SNMP code: Can't load
'/opt/csw/lib/perl/csw/auto/BerkeleyDB/BerkeleyDB.so' for module
BerkeleyDB: ld.so.1: perl: fatal: libdb-4.3.so: open failed: No such
file or directory at /opt/csw/lib/perl/5.8.8/XSLoader.pm line 70.
at (eval 45) line 14
Compilation failed in require at (eval 45) line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 45) line 14.
Undefined subroutine &BerkeleyDB::Term::close_everything called at
/opt/csw/lib/perl/csw/BerkeleyDB.pm line 1675.
END failed--call queue aborted.

This is because pm_berkeleydb (amavisd_new depends on it) is using
Berkeley DB 4.3 while the newest Perl is using 4.4. If you are
experiencing this problem, please upgrade pm_berkeleydb and amavisd_new
from testing:

http://www.blastwave.org/testing/pm_berkeleydb-0.31,REV=2007.03.12-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.gz
http://www.blastwave.org/testing/pm_berkeleydb-0.31,REV=2007.03.12-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW.pkg.gz

http://www.blastwave.org/testing/amavisd_new-2.4.5,REV=2007.03.12-SunOS5.8-all-CSW.pkg.gz

IMPORTANT: Please upgrade amavisd_new as well. The postinstall script of
the amavisd_new package will upgrade your db files to 4.4.

I've got already two positive reports from users. If don't get any
negative reports, those two packages are going to the unstable tree by
the end of this week.
