Looking at some of the packaging, I wonder if there might actually be a problem with spamassassin that's causing this instead. When I split sa-compile out into a different package, I moved the recompile actions into sa-compile's postinst. However, I didn't indicate sa-compile's interest in the perl-major-upgrade trigger, so this postinst action will never get performed. spamassassin itself no longer performs any action on the perl-major-upgrade trigger. Regardless of whether or not fixing the above issue is enough to resolve this bug, it will prevent the hook from working as expected and is a bug. I'll see about confirming that things work as expected when that bug is fixed. noah
