/usr/share/doc/spamassassin/README.Debian.gz contains this: "Some users have reported difficulty running spamd with an IPv6 listening address. As a work around, please ensure you have libio-socket-inet6-perl installed."
However, I had libio-socket-inet6-perl installed and still was unable to start spamd. After a quick search I found what seems to be the upstream bug: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6953 A comment in the bug says the following about workarounds: "So workarounds are: - specify 0.0.0.0 or :: explicitly with a --listen (-i) spamd option - or, install module IO::Socket::IP version 0.09 or later - or, deinstall IO::Socket::INET6" I installed libio-socket-ip-perl and that allowed spamd to start. README.Debian should probably be updated to reflect the correct workaround. Cheers, Eloy Paris.- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
