Summary: 0004544: 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 http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:s-uSuGiWrqAJ:www.opencsw.org/search/perl/+DB_File.pm+opencsw&cd=2&hl=de&ct=clnk [^] to current file list.
Steps To Reproduce:
Additional Information: /opt/csw/bin/perl -MDB_File
Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/csw/lib/perl/5.10.1 /opt/csw/share/perl/5.10.1 /opt/csw/lib/perl/site_perl /opt/csw/share/perl/site_perl /opt/csw/share/perl/site_perl /opt/csw/lib/perl/csw /opt/csw/share/perl/csw /opt/csw/share/perl/csw .).

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?

The Bayes-DB in Spamassassin seems to be storable in a number of formats. So maybe your configuration just doesn't depend on DB_File.pm.

A separate package would be possible i guess, but CPAN says that DB_File.pm should be included in the standard distribution of perl (http://search.cpan.org/~pmqs/DB_File-1.820/DB_File.pm). [^] Did any config/compile-flags change between the last two perl packages?

It's weird since the only thing we have changed since the first 5.10.1 package is compiler locations and depending on bdb48 instead of bdb47.

If this is a problem for you you can get the old packages from http://csw.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/oldpkgs [^] until we figure this out.

I also hit this bug when my spamassassin bayes filtering stopped working. I did as suggested and reverted to the older perl-5.10.1,REV=2009.12.15 package. Thanks for keeping an old packages available.

This is hopefully resolved in r11808:
  https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/11808 [^]
Updated Perl packages 5.10.1,REV=2010.12.06 are available for testing at
  http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#perl [^]

Perl 5.10.1,REV=2011.01.15 again contains DB_File.
